Silently walking in the steps of your guide you’ll keep an ear and eye out for any movements in the bushes signaling a mammal, reptile, giant insect, or giant spider is close by.

Listening to the tell tail ting ting (the sound of taping a spoon on a glass) of their call, your guide will lead the way down into creaks, over trees, and slippery rocks. Past trees with spikes, and over roots of fallen trees. Carefully watching where you place your hands and feet, you’ll follow your expert leader into a world rarely seen by most people.
