types of jungle

[Rolando]

Agree, a lot of poisonous and venomous stuff and less food potential than other environments.

You can get by fairly well if you know what it is all about and many communities live in that "hell", knowing how to deal with it makes them kind of paradises but it is not easy by any means.

Knowing how to move and that you should not be touching things is a big part of it. Many people touch the plants when they move through forest, it's natural to take them out of your face and path, but doing that in the jungle can be dangerous, a poisonous worm can be behind a big leaf and you just have to brush it a bit (those hairy worms that are like a natural piece of art) and you will get fever, pain and inflammation in the part brushed, not fun at all, if you are allergic to it for some reason you may die, in the best of case you will be with a painful fever for a day or two.

Mos trails for tourists and adventurers are known trails and very traveled, so less animals and the path are widened by locals so there is less risk of brushing something or stepping in a hole or other of the multiple dangers. Mangroves are usually traveled by boat or only by people that really have to do it, in many places are protected areas so there is little if any industry, fishing or farming.

Looking at videos is another good way of getting an idea of how it is done by people that know what they are doing (and many that don't) and good for inspiration for descriptions and interesting places, you can find places in the jungle that are simply magical looking and amazing and are purely natural, and if there are ruins it can be surreal.
