Nothing more and nothing less, than about 130 million years, it is estimated that the Taman Negara rainforest has, in Malaysia. It is one of the great natural wonders of the world. The flora and fauna of National Park it has evolved over the centuries, without major alterations, and without suffering natural catastrophes.
You should not visit a tropical country, without enjoying the living and pulsating nature of a tropical jungle. Taman Negara, declared a national park in 1983, extends through three states: Terennganu, Kelantan and Pahang, occupying an area of 4343 square kilometers, in the center of the Malay Peninsula.
Tigers, leopards, elephants, tapirs, wild boars live in the jungle. The chances of seeing any of these animals, with the exception of wild boars, is remote, due to their caution in approaching areas inhabited by humans. However, you will be able to contemplate some of its more than 300 species of birds and enjoy the fun pirouettes of the macaques, which approach tourists in search of food.
As I already told you when I told you about longest canopy walk in the world, in Taman Negara the possibilities for activities in the middle of nature are immense: descent of the river rapids by boat, trekking in the jungle, night safari, fishing, night walk through the jungle, animal observation posts and wonderful baths in the natural pools.
From Kuala Lumpur, capital of Malaysia, you can rent a car or van with a driver, which will take you to Taman Negara, along the magnificent Malay roads.
Don't forget the camera and have fun!
