We had an amazing time on this tour. It was our first tour on our trip, and it was a wonderful start. Our guide gave us so much interesting info as we hiked near the volcano. Let us rest for a while at the viewing point. Then we visited the waterfall. What a beautiful natural wonder! The day concluded with some tasty lunch. Perfect start to our adventures.
Martin was magnificent!
