When participants cross over the bridge, they will be immediately surrounded by trees. It looks as if they were just spit out into the middle of a dense jungle on a mountain, filled with the sounds of animals running around. Neat, mosquitoes. While the jungle takes up the majority of the area, going in a particular direction will take one out of it.
Heading north will lead to a deep river. While certain spots are shallow enough to walk through, be careful about where you step! Beyond the river is a set of ruins. Following the river westward eventually leads to a waterfall. Going south takes explorers down the mountain to a small village outside of the jungle, and beyond it is a a vast savanna.
The Tree - Immediately after stepping off of the bridge, the most noticeable thing is a large tree. Like, large. It greatly towers over any other tree in the jungle, and the only way to see just how tall it is is to exit the jungle itself, and it's about as wide as three tanks. The sound of wildlife is forever constant when around it. If it ever goes quiet, it's probably best to run.
Next to this area is also a section full of vines. Wow. Maybe you can try swinging on them, and it'll be a lot of fun!
The Waterfall - Heading west in the jungle leads to where the river turns into a waterfall. It's an extremely majestic sight, but with a drop close to a thousand feet, it's probably best not to get too close to the edge there. You don't have to look for the leopard anymore because it's dead.
The Ruins - The remains of an ancient civilization, these stone ruins may be crumbling, but what's left of them is still beautiful and a remarkable feat of architecture. It's best to be careful, though, considering this seems to be a favorite spot for some animals to hang out in.
While the area surrounding the ruins is jungle, the actual buildings themselves sit on a clearing. There are a few smaller buildings scattered in clusters around this clearing, though they're all completely empty, aside from some bugs and a stray animal using it for shelter. Watch out for those monkeys, they're kind of assholes.
The main part of the ruins seems to have been a temple that rises high into the sky. While it's possible to enter inside, be careful, since there are definitely parts of it that are no longer stable. There's also a few traps here and there, although they strangely seem like they might have been added after this place was built. In any case, dodge those arrows or get ready to have to explain a very stupid injury later. Going in deeper into the temple will show a maze-like structure on the inside, so it's a fun way to get horribly lost.
There's also more asshole monkeys and apes here. There is no leopard here.
The Village - Going south brings you to a bustling village (or as bustling as it could be when there's no other people here). There are a few guard posts surrounding it that are meant to look out for any wild animals that might get too close to the population. Like in previous locations, there are a couple of open buildings, but some of them are strangely empty inside and will close behind participants when they leave.
There's a shop selling some clothing. Uh. Is that really what they have? In the back, you can see some more traditional clothes, but tourists don't have any rights. To the left of that shop is a spot where you can get served food. Meals include things like rice, curry, fish, stew, and a variety different kinds of meats and greens. No, you can't get into the kitchen here either.
In a penned up area are some cute, little animals! Sheep, goat, and cattle can all be found here. Please, feel free to pet any of them. They are soft. Chickens can also be found roaming around, and they are very happy now because the leopard is dead.
There's a large bonfire area in the center of the village, and the fire never seems to go out no matter what time of day a participant visits. In fact, trying to douse the flames just makes it bigger for some reason.
Close by to the village are some streams that broke off from the main river. Here, a few fishing poles and nets are set near the shore, so participants are free to try their hand at fishing if they would like.
The Savanna - Past the village is a vast savanna. Here, one can see animals like elephants, giraffes, lions, no leopard, zebras, etc. all roaming around. While it is possible to walk around and explore this area, eventually participants will hit a barrier that will prevent them from going too far.
