It is positioned according to route flow, season, access, accommodation style and the traveller’s reason for coming.

The strongest appeal of Golden Monkey Tracking Volcanoes is its ability to add local stories, history and lived culture, guided interpretation and respectful encounters and markets, architecture, museums or urban texture where available to the itinerary.
