camping
In Las Marias it is hard work to try to convince the head guide that one would rather camp out during excursions. Permanent lodges are placed along the standard hiking routes. It might be arranged to live in a tent las marias, but the hospedajes there are cheap anyway. And it is important that the local community feels that is gains economically from tourism.
backcountry
You will find stiff resistance to attempts of going at it alone. In Las Marias they dont want tourists venturing into the jungle without a guide.
