In years to come it could become like Machu Picchu and then at least we will be able to say that we did it before it became a "real" tourist attraction.<br /><br />If we started looking into all that tropical travel medicine stuff we probably wouldn't want to travel, lol!

I think I would be researching info on tropical travel medicine stuff like parasites/fungal infections etc for that area, just because I had the time!

We have also heard that prices there are starting to go up but from looking at accommodation in Colombia, it sounds pretty inexpensive but not as cheap as Guatemala.<br /><br />Yes, we were actually thinking of replacing my little camera this year with a waterproof one, we think it would definitely be a good idea.

It also won't be as hard as the Guatemala hike because we will only have a day pack not those big heavy multi day hike backpacks.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-39972004817358776392015-06-22T09:23:25.255-04:002015-06-22T09:23:25.255-04:00That's exactly what I said to Kevin as well!

He isn't a gardener so he wasn't aware of this and thought it was something new until I told him I had thought of getting some when we had our house. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-61537768936961700712015-06-21T16:14:13.982-04:002015-06-21T16:14:13.982-04:00Very likely the hike is expensive due to access fe...Very likely the hike is expensive due to access fees, although I have heard that the prices in Columbia are starting to creep up now that they are seeing some tourism. Sounds amazing! You might consider investing in a cheap waterproof camera rather than taking your existing camera. We purchased a waterproof Nikon Coolpix(goes to up to 10 feet deep for snorkeling too) that came in very handy in a recent tropical storm and was about $80 last summer (new ones go for about $175 but it was previous years stock at SDM). I am positive you will encounter lots of wet conditions in the jungle.
