Juan Carlos and Maria were excellent guides. Their ability to explain and spot wildlife was amazing. You can tell they really love what they do. If we did these activities with no guide it would have been nice but having them guide us made this tour exceptional. The hikes were wonderful but remember to were sneakers or hiking shoes. Don’t bring crocs or flip flops. Some of the trails are very rocky and slippery.

Nasa was the BEST guide - knowledgeable, spoke in very clear Spanish (and English), very respectful of the park’s animals and features. We saw so much! I was very happy with our experience (8am tour). We chose to do only this tour, instead of a combo tour, so we didn’t have to worry about finishing at a certain time and our day didn’t feel too busy.
