About
Γρήγορα στοιχεία: Drive through a two-kilometer tunnel of mahogany where trunks cluster so close overhead that sunlight filters down in dappled ribbons. Local drivers treat the stretch like a slow-motion photo runway, while orchids and ferns cling to trunks and the air fills with bird calls.
Κύρια σημεία: Mist often hangs inside the canopy, turning trunks a glowing mahogany and making the whole corridor feel like a living cathedral. Photographers regularly ask drivers to slow to 10 to 20 km/h while they shoot with a 50mm lens and shutter speeds below 1/60 sec to capture the silky motion and perfect vanishing lines.
Insider tips
- Arrive early for soft morning light and far fewer tour buses.
- Wear closed shoes, the roadside can be uneven and muddy after rain.
- Position yourself in the center of the road for the classic tunnel shot, but have a companion watch for traffic.
- Limit the visit to 30–45 minutes, enough for photos and a short walk without blocking other visitors.
