It was a great trip! We hiked thru jungles, took a break and swam near the beautiful waterfall, then we went to the coffee farm, saw how the coffee was made tasted a delicious coffee and coffee liquor, we also saw toucans there, it was beautiful! Then we hiked a bit more thru the jungles to a restaurant where we had the delicious meal with live music. After we learned about chocolate and made our own chocolates! The whole trip was really fun and good value for money! Definitely recommend to take this tour, you’ll not regret it!
