Looking at rainforest plantsFood for sale sign

The map on the sign is quite confusing but the farm is the one seen behind the sign on the left of the path. They advertise honey, eggs, cheese, milk, horses for rent and boats for rent for anyone going north to south or out and back. Many of the other farms in the area also sell food.

From the farm, the path descends to the Hassman river with the bounciest of the swing bridges. Again there is no handrail but it is wide and well made. There is a small stream nearby with clean water. The path then climbs into a thick rainforest filled with birdlife. The path exits the rainforest in meadowland from where the route is signed to a bridge (watch closely, as the larger cow path leads straight down to the river) over the Rio Sin Nombre and a farmhouse.
