To reach Mompiche, you have two options : waiting for a bus or a car that rides on the narrow path leading to the village, or walking...
Walking may be an interesting experience also, for the landscapes, the sounds of the jungle (birds, insects, howler monkeys) and the fauna (nice biiiig spiders !).
Pour rejoindre Mompiche, vous avez deux options : attendre qu'un bus ou qu'une voiture vous emmene sur le chemin sinueux qui mene au village ou marcher.
Marcher est une experience fascinante, pour les paysages, les bruits de la jungle (oiseaux, insectes, singes hurleurs) et pour la faune (des groooosses araignees notamment !).
