Thanks for your answer.

I'm actually living in Ho Chi Minh, for 3 months, work internship, so Im planning to travel from Vietnam to Myanmar or Cambodia in the next months.
I've visited Nam Cat Tien. Hiking to the Aligators lake it was like 2h one way walking. My arm was so tired carrying the 24-70mm 2.8, with the cam weighted 1.5kg (3.3pounds). I don't want to imagine such hikes, all day most than double with the 100-400mm for example.

More than nature, I am into people and compressed landscapes, I want to learn using a telephoto lens for more than sports and animals.

Btw, be careful with the leeches.

What a great opportunity !

I think a 70-200 f/4 and 1.4x would be a great combo for you on this trip. Very light and portable, plus great flexibility.
