Eric

What a hidden gem! The 20 minute drive over rocky terrain is worth every second. The pastoral landscape is gorgeous. Driving through (very shallow) streams just adds to the adventure. At night, picture hundreds of fireflies flickering in a misty valley. The hut (no walls) I stayed in was the perfect jungle vibe. There weren’t even that many bugs in February. This place is magical
