A wonderful discovery of the rainforest

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We did a very nice hike in the protected rainforest of Villa de Leyva instead of Perequeria. Three beautiful waterfalls punctuate the hike. Our guide Miguel shared with us his passion for the forest: plants, hummingbirds, butterflies. The tour lasts a total of 3/4 hours with transport (from the hotel). A few passages can be slippery (but not difficult) so favor a day without rain. Recommended hiking shoes and swimsuit if the weather is nice and for the brave! The tour can be done in Spanish, French, English, German. Miguel is particularly attentive. Beyond the hike, we also had a nice meeting:-). We recommend 100% this excursion!
