Kumuka is about giving you local insights as well
as adventure, so, where we think you will get more out of your holiday
by using local transport, that is what we do. It can be an air transfer,
a speedboat or just a local bus. Some patience is required of course,
as the locals don’t necessarily live to our timetable or at our
pace, so there may be delays or times when you have to stand on a chicken
bus, sandwiched between the locals and a few chickens! However, if you
go with the flow, you will find it enriches the experience.
Then there are obvious pluses, such as having everything
organised for you and having your accommodation and travel prepaid.
Enjoy that feeling of being on holiday rather than it being hard work!
Kumuka removes those drab and dull errands that you have to run, like
spending hours queuing at the bus station only to discover all the tickets
are sold out - especially important for those who only have limited
time at their disposal! Let us deal with all the niggling and time consuming
problems, leaving you free to unwind and enjoy your time to the max!

Accommodation
On Small Group Tours, accommodation is mainly hotel-based,
on twin (occasionally triple) share, same-gender basis. Rooms are normally
en-suite and we tend to use smaller, family-run type hotels, although
there may be the occasional jungle lodge, three star hotel, camping,
and the odd overnight bus.

Transport
Local transport may be a mixture of local chicken
buses, sometimes a plush air-con bus with reclining seats, maybe a flight,
the occasional train ride, taxis, boats and privately-chartered vehicles.
Plenty of opportunities to chat to the locals in pidgin-Spanish - an
essential part of the experience, giving you plenty of stories to tell
back home!

Luggage
We recommend that you take a backpack or a comfortable hold-all, as
well as a day pack for essentials. Remember that you will be responsible
for carrying this, as well as loading it onto the roof of a bus or perhaps
walking a few blocks through town with it. So be sure that your are
comfortable with the weight and size.
