Guest House located at 1500 m - is located on the beside the park, almost in the rainforest. There are no shops there. There are small guesthouses and food is made and served <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />. Electricity is via solar panel or maybe there is a generator also.The price is VERY low.2. There are marked trails from the guest house into the rainforest. It possible to go without a guide on daily trek.3. With a Guide and a carrier. 15 day trip into the rainforest. There is full focus on it is a birdtour, and it is made so there is time for bird watching. It is slepping in the forest. The food is served also <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />The price is also here very low.A bit about meI have seen the birds for 30 years and have been 2x in rainforest before (Thailand and Tanzania). I have also ealier worked as a professional bird watcher. After a some years away from birdwatching, I have now again the time to get out and travel. Iam 45 years. My fitness level will get better until september 2016 <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> My english is not perfect.Who are youThe desire and interest in getting out in the rainforest and get nature and bird experiences. Whether you are an experienced or a beginner in bird watching does not mean that great (the birds are new for me, so I am "newbie").The important thing is that you are nice person. Age and gender do not matter.Your fitness level for walking in the forest must be some fairly okay. If you are completely out of shape, this is not a trip for you.NoteAlthough I have already contacted a Guide etc, it's not a trip that I prepare for you. If you want to join, so I expect you take an active part in the preparation.Note IINote. This is a trip without luxury. However, with nature and bird in a class by itself.</blockquote>
