I mulled over several different companies but one stood out head and shoulders above the rest, Opwall is named after the Wallacea region in Indonesia where the organisation first started doing their research. I wanted to go on an expedition that would allow me to see wildlife and take photos whilst doing some expedition medicine. In the cloud forest of Cusuco National Park it can get warm in open areas (temperatures up to 20 degrees Celsius) but much cooler in the shade of the forest.
