Miguel was excellent and the groups are small! This company is run by just two guys who are as close as brothers, so it feels like a family. Our trip was so much fun and he was so supportive and kind in helping someone who isn’t exactly fit climb up rocks and over tree roots. He even helped convince me to jump off the cliff! He shared knowledge along the way of the plants we saw, as well. I would definitely recommend this activity to everyone! One thing I might suggest is to incorporate a like more history in to the activity. I forgot to ask those questions lol
