We had the best day with our guide Fernando, he was upbeat and full of information the whole way. We were able to stop a a local bakery for some of the best coffee I have ever had. The hike was fairly easy to moderate with beautiful sites and lunch was a delicious buffet of local cuisine. Swimming in the blue river was a great way to end the tour! Also shout out to William our driver for handling the windy roads like a boss.
