5.00Great day with Josh Josh is an adorable guide, passionate about his country and the desire to pass on To get to the swamp, we took the ferry, top, away from the tourist tumult Arriving at the marsh, we embarked on a small motorized boat with a guide: Beautiful walk in a beautiful setting and icing on the cake, after a little hour of searching we saw a hoofed beak and stayed a good half hour watching it before it took off Day at the top that I highly recommend
