Wildlife

Tommy_W, Jul 2025
As advertised. Water was a little down but we still saw some wildlife. Cayman, otter, monkeys and birds

Peaceful day in paradise!

Kathleen_W, Jul 2022
The knowledge of our guide (Andreas) and our driver (Victor). The wonderful pace of the day in the amazing quiet, beautiful natural setting. The "coffee break" and lunch were awesome - authentic, delicious, plentiful. The whole day was relaxing, educational and culturally rich. Highly recommended!

Good tour

The float was pretty. The water was low but still worth it! The hike to and from the waterfall was more strenuous than we thought but it was worth it.
