5.00We had a wonderful hike to Palo Maria waterfall with Gerardo. He was very helpful to find a good path for me as I am recovering from double knee replacements and had to step carefully. The waterfall was beautiful and worth the work to get there. Gerardo is a great guy with fun stories and great insights about nature. I highly recommend his company and this tour.

5.00We had a fantastic hike with Gerardo to Palo Maria waterfalls. He was very helpful for funding safe paths for me as I am recovering from double knee replacement surgeries. We enjoyed his easy company, his stories and perspectives on nature. The waterfalls is worth the effort. We definitely feel a guide added so much to the experience. I highly recommend Gerardo and his company.

5.00It was an awesome experience. Emilian was very knowledgeable and fun, he took us to a hike through the jungles and we swam in a beautiful waterfall. We saw some exotic birds and plants. Totally worth the money and time. Emilian gave us great tips on where to eat and what to do.
Awesome!

5.00I booked this through a website that offers tours from various other sites. What I purchased was not at all what I got (not an error on the part of the tour group or guide). I am so glad that I ended up with this tour over what I had tried to purchase. What I got was the best day hiking solo with a local resident through some really cool spots and having a great time. This was a very tough hike, but well worth it!
Highly recommended, knowledgeable and overall fun experience!!

5.00Our guide Gerardo was awesome! He was so knowledgeable about the area and genuinely passionate about our surroundings. He told us about the flora and fauna 2’d kept safety as a priority, constantly checking on us and supportive if we needed a break. He was engaged and brought snacks, took pics for us and the whole experience felt like a hike with a well prepared friend. I recommend the company for their great communication, accessible prices and overall positive experience. We will book with them again!
