dense jungles
Impenetrable tropical forests
Dense jungles are tropical forests with thick, tangled vegetation—trees, vines, and undergrowth packed so tightly that passage is difficult.
The phrase often evokes images of machete-wielding explorers or impenetrable wilderness: The expedition hacked through dense jungles for days.
Figuratively, any complex, difficult-to-navigate situation may be called a dense jungle: the dense jungle of tax regulations.
