Amazing day!

5.00This was a phenomenal experience! I was somewhat hesitant to book given the low number of reviews but this ended up being an absolutely magical day. We were picked up at our hotel in Parrita which was outside the range of most other similar tours. That alone was awesome. The two guides were so accommodative to younger kids who were hot and miserable while hiking and even had the insight to start the hike a little closer to the falls then typical which was so appreciated. But even with the heat, the pay off of the beautiful falls and being able to swim for pretty much as long as you want with fresh fruit provided made it beyond worth it. The authentic meal at a local co-op on the way back was the cherry on top and literally off the beaten path. They patiently waited at multiple bathroom stops as well. Could not recommend this tour group enough, which needs much more recognition on viator!
Off the beaten path
