3.00Positives: Excellent pre trip communication. Very punctual pick up at hotel. New Mercedes transporter bus. Safe and polite driver. The scenery. Good price. Negative: While the driver spoke English, his Portuguese accent was so strong that, even in spite of the fact that he wore a microphone headset, the six of us in the back of the van got perhaps 10% of his commentary, which was a real shame.
The driver we had was so...

5.00Great sights. When you get to town with the pools there are a lot of restaurants closer to the "non paid" pool. Our guide thought the pools that were non paid would be difficult to get in and out of but they were fine. They day we went it was rainy so we didn't see much of the forest. The waterfall stops were cool.
Scenic views with time to take photos
