Obed was a great guide and the entire day was spectacular. We have kids aged 7-16 and it was appropriate for all of them and us. My littlest really wanted to see sloths and a red eyed tree frog in the wild. No promises were made, but he managed to find both of them for her. This day was a highlight of our trip to CR.

Wonderful rainforest and numerous hanging bridges to give a breath taking view! Bring a rain jacket as it is a "rain" forest ;)
