Great time!

Charles_P, Feb 2025
Let me start by saying our guides were excellent smart funny and friendly. The horses were not well kept at all, lots of sores and lack of care was evident. Some were very old and extremely skinny, we did not feel good about about after seeing the saddle sores. Very sad!

Although our tour guy Luis still learning his English, we still have a great time enjoying the hot springs, horse back riding and the short hike to the waterfall. Luis even show us his beautiful hometown and his grandma made us some Costa Rica pancakes to go with coffee. Good tour.
