I walked this route with mixed feelings...it would be awesome to have a rainforest right there since it's not that often you get to see a rainforest. But seeing all the people who live there, surely they can't uproot them??

An amazing site where several traditional houses from the native population have been transported and set up all together. Totally stunning collection of things, you can see the love that went into making these look so good and it's such a mystery as to where he got to...

Arranged as a whole series of shops and other settings with the appropriate items from the collection this is one big nostalgia trip for those in the know (like my guide, good friend of over 20 yrs who grew up there) and an eye opener to the way of life of real people in the recent past. Fascinating place.
