Amazing Hiking Experience in Costa Rica.

Dale_O, Feb 2023

What an amazing experience! This was the true day hiking adventure in Costa Rica I was searching for. Some challenges for me at times, but our guide Eric was there to assist the whole way. The countryside and canyon were so beautiful! And the waterfalls!!!! Bring your hiking poles and a bathing suit. Highly recommend.

Thanks for your comment Dale, it was a very good hike. Keep exploring!

Once in a lifetime experience

Visiting all the waterfalls was worth the hike. The hiking part is a little tough but the guide is helpful and patient. The tour guide was amazing. Showed us around and took us to extra places to visit since we had more time. Honestly I wish I could give this 6 stars.
