Ariel is the King of Hiking Guides

5.00THE BEST GUIDE EVER!! Our hiking guide's name is Ariel. I can't recall ever having a guide as caring, smart and strong as Ariel. What a great man. Though he spoke broken English, and my wife and I spoke worse Spanish, we were able to communicate. He made us feel safe by tying a rope to a tree of steep declines and inclines to provide us help in scaling the rocks. He pointed out fun plants, a Tucan, and even saw a snake in the water before we were to cross that certain portion of the river. He hikes this canyon everyday. He made sure we were stepping on the right rocks in the water and kept a close eye on our every move. Just a great person. I would highly recommend requesting Ariel and only Ariel for this Jurassic Hike. In all our travels, I can't recall anyone helping us as well as Ariel. I can't believe he does this hike everyday. Please tip him. We will remember Ariel for a long time to come. Also, the waterfalls were amazing. Definitely worth the money, time and effort. Today was one of my wife's favorite days in her whole life. Thank you Toro Rides CR and especially ARIEL!!! Josh & Vika

5.00This was an amazing hike. It is NOT for everyone. It’s a fairly tough walk and a lot of scrambling, but very worth the effort.
So much fun

5.00We 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 !
100% recommend

5.00Ariel 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.
