The waterfalls were amazing and so were the pics. I fully enjoyed Pablo’s tour and I would definitely do another tour with Tunco Life!

Beautiful view, guide at the top! I don't regret trusting Pablo on this excursion. Go in there with your eyes closed.

Pablo was a great guide through the national park. He was very helpful friendly and knowledgeable though out the whole experience. He made sure everyone was okay and enjoying themselves. Pablo also had a helper Freddy who was great as well. I would definitely recommend him on your next trip. Thank you again.

Great trip, great guide! The waterfalls are very pretty and worth visiting! Pablo is a great guide, very friendly and funny. He is patient and shows exactly where to be and what you can do while being at the waterfalls so everyone feels very safe! During the small hike he had interesting thing s to tell about the nature (trees, animals, rocks). I would love to go again!

The guide was awesome, super friendly. There was a bit of cliff diving (~3 meters) which was absolutely amazing. The waterfalls were impressive and the hike was beautiful as well.

I’m so glad I took this opportunity! The trek to the falls through a part of the El Salvador countryside was beautiful, the hiking just challenging enough and falls gorgeous. Our guides, Salva and Harry were fantastic and our group of 17 so much fun. It was great to meet people from all over and hear about their travel experiences. I recommend this to everyone.

The trip to Tamanique Falls with this tour group/agency is a must-do!! Salva, my tour guide, was extremely friendly and kept the atmosphere fun. He was attentive to all in the tour . He was knowledgeable about the region and history and was able to learn new things during the hike. The waterfalls were beautiful and pictures/videos don’t do It justice. Really happy I was able to be apart of this experience and would definitely recommend!!
