    We were hoping to see some of the natural beauty of this area, and we were not disappointed. What a great day! After a short drive we met up with our guide and went hiking through a beautiful area to see all kinds of plant life, birds and yes, howler monkeys. After our hike back to the village was our favorite part, a home cooked lunch from our guides mom! Incredible! Something we will never forget. Adam, our English speaking guide, did a great job explaining and translating. He made sure we didn’t miss a thing. Be aware, this is real hiking, 6 km through the jungle over rough terrain. If you’re good with that, then you’ll enjoy this tour.
