Then, on the expedition's final day, the weary explorers teamed up with Nyameron, who led them deepintotheforest to a thicket that contained the most plants they had seen.
The road meanders past farm houses, skittish livestock and intriguing snapshots of rural Romanian life, before it abruptly veers left and plentiful blue crosses lead up a steep hill and deepintotheforest.
During the quieter parts of the year (avoid August where increased numbers of tourists scatter the wildlife away from the river, and fruiting season drives the orangutans deepintotheforest), you will not need to travel far before you see trees filled with proboscis monkeys.
