We had an excellent guide Sofia! She was supremely knowledgeable about the river and gave us a lot of confidence traveling with her. They were kind enough to keep our tour open even with just two people signed up. Also Kira took some photos so you can safely leave your phone and belongings with her. They made it so simple. My wife is trans and I worry a lot about our safety and comfort when we travel especially doing outdoorsy activities. Both were so kind and gracious, if you’re queer or solely females travelers, both of these women made us feel welcomed. Thank you both for a lovely trip! Highly recommend for yourself, family or work!
