Really great tour! Our driver/guide Adolfo was very nice and we seemed to be one of the first groups to arrived at every stop! He also gave us a nice Posh tasting free of charge!

the day was incredible. I met lots of great people. the guide seemed very pleasant. he cared about the people that were with us, I just can't speak Spanish. the water falls were incredible and the one lake was so much fun. kayaking to the little island with our group was a blast.
