5.00Such an excellent experience! Highly recommend. Our guide was very knowledgeable and quite entertaining. Great experience for kids. I would not recommend for elderly since walking surfaces are uneven and the water in the (3) rivers can be deep (to the knees).
Hiking feet in the water

5.00Great tour but it is very physical. Includes walking 6-8 km barefoot and wading into water to mid-thigh (I’m 5’6”). And going into quicksand to your knees at least (optional) Guide was knowledgeable and kind. Bring food, water, and wear shorts! And a good weatherproof jacket if it’s below 65 and windy out.
