Guide was very good. I liked that it arrives early in the morning, so we could do the hike before it got too hot and could swim before too many other tours arrives.

Wonderful experience!...

Wonderful experience! Especially if you just want to visit the waterfall. I forgot her name but our guide was so knowledgeable and kind. She made sure we were all well taken care of. I highly recommend this tour.

Outstanding trip!

Our tour guide Sigrid was knowledgeable and extremely friendly we would not have enjoyed this tour without her. We felt safe and taken care of. The Hierva de Agua was beautiful and breathtaking. The drive up was very scenic as well. Definitely recommend and ask for Sigrid to be your tour guide!
