Ecotourism Village Homestays

Homestay is a great opportunity to learn about the local lifestyle as well as about the local culture.

You will have an opportunity to be welcomed to a homestay family when on the Cloud Forest Trek.

Please note that the village homestays offer simple accommodation with limited privacy. You will be sharing the sleeping area with the family, the bathroom is located outside the house and there is no hot water for bathing. Please note that most of the homestay families do not speak any English, but are very friendly and welcoming.
