This tour had so many facets, it made for a truly memorable day. The Nauyaca Falls is, of course, the highlight of the tour, and it is beautiful, but every stop leading up to it had its own beauty. Stopping at Dominical to get a coffee, allowed us to appreciate a town we otherwise would never have visited, but now want to return. Visiting a beautiful beach where we were among maybe 6 others, after the crowds at Manuel Antonio, this was a true gift ( happening upon 2 sloths sleeping in a tree by the road, another gift). Learning about the different plants and their important medicinal uses, so interesting. Eddie convinced me to cliff dive… ok it was a very small cliff but for a non swimmer, still terrifying,lol. I also learned how to pick out the best pineapple and watermelon. This was one of our best days and I highly recommend this tour.
