We had the best time on this tour, our tour guide was so fun and very kind. We were laughing and seeing amazing views the entire time! I would highly recommend ! This hike is pretty intense but totally worth it. There are a lot of river crossings and rock scrambling but nothing too bad !

Ariel was an incredible guide! We ran a little late and he waited for us and was helpful the entire time. 10/10 experience the waterfalls are out of this world. It's definitely an adventure which made getting to the waterfalls an even more impressive feat. We truly loved it.
