Tours
For many years Santo has targeted the dive market and understandably so.
Today however we are seeing more and more tours becoming available as the Sleeping Giant Santo awakens.
Adventure Trekking
As recently as May 2003 we have seen the establishment of a breathtaking adventure trek. This trek has been published in Travel segments worldwide. The Trek takes a full day and has been rated as Medium to Hard Adventure trekking. A drive deep into the jungle of Santo, followed by a half hour walk crossing a bamboo footbridge gets you to the starting point. There you meet the Chief and his sons and commence the adventure. An hours trek to a steep decent to the mouth of the cave. Cut vines assist the descent. The size of the cave is awesome and takes half an hour to wade or swim through.. Inside the cave there are waterfalls and absolutely spectacular features.
The cave opens to a hidden gorge and meets the river. Here you begin your biggest challenge. The next three hours of clambering across boulders, wading, swimming down the flowing river leaves you totally inspired, for filled and exhausted. The river is only 10 to 20 metres wide and is bordered by sheer cliffs. Again waterfalls are a feature together with the lush rainforest vegetation.
Once you start the swim, there is no turning back.
It is truly an Adventure you will never forget. |
