Only a short ride from the city, but it felt like I was in a completely different place. No noise, no smoke—just birds, trees, and fresh air. You HAVE to try it if you need a break from the urban jungle.
I love the monkeys

Awesome, peacefull boat ride. I badly needed refreshment at very cheap cost. I found Quinn via facebook and she shared me her tour packages. I booked it directly. Travelling to the untouched nature with professional guide is really amazing. I give 10/10 and I reallt recommend everyone to join this trek. Our group had a great time!!!
