Insider's view
This trip exposed me to the many different aspects of the country, from the indigenous people to the amazing dense forests and incredible national parks. I was surprised by the warm welcome I received from the local people and enjoyed the opportunity to stay on a longhouse with them. Riding the longtail boat was a personal highlight.
