Fantastic experience. Marcos was an excellent guide, pointing out things we’d never have seen on our own. I’m sometimes scared of heights and should have been a lot more nervous crossing the 6 hanging bridges as they’re high and wobbly, but I did feel very safe. Thank you!

Our guide Jason was phenomenal!!!! He was so nice, knew a bunch about the local species and made the experience truly special. He spoke both English and Spanish fluently to make our tour even easier because we did not speak fluent Spanish. Full pickup and drop-off and stopping on the road to see some monkeys and a sloth really showed he cared about our time there. Great organization and tour that I would recommend to all. I didn't want to leave!
