请教一个简单的问题
The Hengchun Peninsula in Pintung County attracts tourists from all over
the world, but because many areas are covered in primeval forest, tourists
often become lost.
译：屏东县的恒春半岛吸引各国观光客到访，不少地区自然原始，常有游客迷路。
请问but跟because两者皆连接词，虽然because是副词连接词，可以这样连着用吗？
之前家教曾跟我说but是对等连接词，前后接相同东西例如子句。又接了because子句
就不对了。
麻烦解惑，谢谢。
