A phenomenal experience from start to finish! This was hands down one of the most unforgettable and enriching tours I've ever taken. Our guide, Pancho, was an absolute star! — knowledgeable, attentive, and full of charisma. He went above and beyond to personalize the experience, sharing the hidden gems of the route and offering valuable tips that truly enhanced the journey. His passion for the rainforest was contagious as he introduced us to native plants and gave us a deeper understanding of the ecosystem’s beauty and significance. It wasn’t just a tour—it was a masterclass in nature and hospitality. Having Pancho as our guide made all the difference, turning a great tour into an exceptional one. My kids and family were just as thrilled—they haven’t stopped talking about it since we got back! Solid word of advice - this is a hike with water falls so you will get wet and your shoes will get dirty. It’s all worth it! Trust me! A solid 10 out of 10.

I went with my family. It was absolutely beautiful. Our tour guide Luismi and Jhonsy were both great. They provided great communication, and made the hike very enjoyable. Make sure to wear water shoes!! Your shoes will get wet and muddy during the hike. Also you’ll be jumping from a cliff, and rope swinging into the water. So much fun. The water is very refreshing once you get in. 💙

This is a fun packed activity. We did lots of hiking and rock climbing to get to the top from where we came down by sliding through the water falls. We also did some awesome optional cliff jumping from a low height for fun. Overall it is fully engaged 4 hours and a lot of fun.
