About: This sector of the Children’s Eternal Rainforest offers 10 kilometers of trails deep in the rainforest. Along the trails there is a lake, a waterfall and most spectacularly, the boiling mud pits, or fumarolas. Reservations are not required to hike the trails but are strongly recommended. When you make your reservation they will explain how to get here so that you don’t take the wrong road and get stuck. They also offer lodging, meals, and guided tours, all of which do require advance reservation.
