The views were super nice!! But as i paid for the english speaking tour, i was super disappointed when the driver did not know abit of english. i was not able to converse with him on the duration of each trip and the duration of the drive. Due to the cloudy weather, the group made some decisions to skip some stops while conversing in spanish. My wife and i were not aware of what was discussed.

The waterfalls were gorgeous, and the lakes and border towns were incredible. Really enjoyed the international park. The first lake wanted almost $80 to go on the rafts, so we went to a lake with a nice little shopping area instead. Remember to bring cash as none of these places take card, and to bring your swimsuit for the lake!

Wow! This is such a cool wtefall to head to! There are two sides to the falls but no interconnecting bridge so you’ll have to go back to the beginning of the trail to start the other side. The lakes were amazing and reminded me of Lake Tahoe just tropical and this tour even goes and crosses the border to Guatemala! Which means you’ll visit a second country on this tour! Highly recommend it !

The places we went on this tour were excellent. The waterfalls were amazing! Tour guide was very friendly but was not very informative of the area. Mostly drove and didn't explain anything about the places we went unless he was asked questions. Very long day. Was told we would return at 8:30pm before tour date but asked driver the day of and he said 10:00pm and we got back exactly at 10:00pm. Pick up was suppose to be at 7:00am but wasn't picked up until 7:25am.
