Juan was an excellent guide! He was attentive to the group, stopped to give quick interesting facts and information about different flora and fauna and also told cultural stories along the route. It was great that our group was small which made it easy to have great conversations with the people during the hike and at lunch. I highly recommend this activity if you are looking for something that is not the usual tourist attraction and want to get some physical activity in during your vacation. The hike is somewhat demanding so make sure you are ready to scramble up and down rocky terrain.

Juan was an amazing guide! Our group was 7 people in total and he took fantastic care of us through the trek in the jungle. The hike was super fun and there are some scrambling bits, but very steady and safe throughout. The secret beaches are so pretty and we spent some time in each either admiring the views or taking a dip. The highlights included the delicious restaurant Juan took us to at the end and the boat ride back!

This was one of my favorite hikes! It could challenging in parts for non hikers but well worth it. The guide, Juan, was great and very knowledge. After a long hike and visiting the 6 hidden beaches, we had a delicious meal in Las Animas. Our day was topped off with a taxi boat.. super day!

This trip was amazing . I will truly recommended .You will see nice beaches , hike , wild life , good food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our tour guy was really helpful with everything. Enjoy your stay Tomáš&Lukáš 🇨🇿

This was a nice activity but do plan on blocking your whole day for this. We left at 10am and returned at 7pm
