We do, but that still doesn't change the reality on the ground. The jungle is a pretty brutal and disorienting place. I've done a few walks in the jungle in Colombia and Panama and it is incredibly beautiful but you also quickly realize that without a guide you are going to be lost in 30 seconds. Foliage so dense you can't see more than a few meters ahead and behind of you, dense enough to obscure the sun to the point that you can no longer navigate, and sometimes dense enough to interfere with GPS unless you plan on staying in the same spot for a long time. It is also incredibly alive for want of a better word.
