5.00A very nice experience! Our guide was Herald — very knowledgeable and passionate about his work. We saw a lot: toucan, sleeping sloth with a baby, venomous snake, red-eyed frog etc. We even managed to spot an armadillo!!! But the best thing was that we were alone in the whole park and were able to enjoy night sounds and smells without crowds of tourists. Thank you!
