conditions.
Trekking time: The trekking time is just approximate and depends on our speed and the
weather.
Experience: This program is recommended for people in good physical condition.Trekking in
tropical rainforests is very different then trekking in temperate or other forests. First, it is hot
and wet. Second, leeches and mosquitoes are common. Finally, Cuc Phuong is located in an
area with steep limestone mountains, so trekking can become difficult because of the sharp
rocky slopes.
