If you consider
that rivers are the highways and avenues of the forest, it is
logical to deduce that the canoes will be the most used mean of
transport in your adventure through the Orient.
Trips in canoes
are really spectacular, except when the level of the river is
too low, situation that forces the passengers to push the fragile
craft every time that it stagnates in a stone or sand bank.
But beyond
this -that is an additional adventure- you should plan your stay
in the forest carefully, for what is very recommendable to get
the advice of a travel agency.
