@french5029 --- You can buy a machete from a vendor in the marketplace. However, you may have to wait a few Sim days for it to appear on the vendor's table. You have to wait for some other items to appear on their table because the items they're selling vary, but it's worth the wait to get certain items before exploring the jungle.

To get in the general right direction to find the temple, go to the 2 houses in the jungle neighborhood, and look around for any gates. Use a machete or your hands to open the gates. Then, look for the wooden bridge that you can see on the map. You have to get through the jungle to get to that bridge. Then, keep looking for gates after that bridge leading farther into the jungle. Both times I've found the temple it was by luck, as well as using the tips I just gave you. You may have to try a different gate.
Here's what a gate looks like. However, my Sims already cut the vines/branches, but this is what you're looking for.
