5.00My best friend and I completed the tour for the first time, and our tour guide, Adriana, was amazing! She was very passionate and knowledgeable about the forest which made our experience so smooth and enjoyable. The hike was challenging at times but so fun! Adriana gave us the best experience, and we can’t wait to come back and visit again!
Perfect.

5.005 points, thanks to guide adrit! I loved the trip. My friend and I had a great day. We experienced the coolness of the rainforest and tasted his springs, and also recognized the characteristics of many rainforest plants. Next time I'll be back here.
Beautiful Fun Adventure

5.00Tour was a perfect mix of adventure and fun. Our tour guide, Enrique, was knowledgeable about the rain forest plant life and made the tour fun for our family of four. Would not recommend for small children, but perfect for us with college age kids. We got lucky and trail was not very muddy. Water felt refreshing and tour was beautiful. Hike up to waterfall was just difficult enough to make slide down feel like a reward. Highly recommend.

5.00Jean was the best! I definitely recommend touring with him as it was a small group and much more personal. There are 2 parts to the hike. The first to home base is pretty easy but the second is much harder. Just know that even if you can’t do the second part it is still worth the trip for the beautiful views.
Amazing experience

5.00The ride we did with Adriana Turvis was absolutely amazing. We were only 4 people, so we could of course, in addition to being able to ask all our questions. She taught us about the elements of the forest, the water, and the history surrounding this place. We also had a delicious snack. Our guide was funny, dynamic and very responsible in terms of safety. The experience was simply amazing and we really recommend you to visit with Adriana Turvis.
Must do tour!!
