We loved our activity. The views from the sky tram were beautiful and the guide pointed out birds for us. It was great!! We walked the long loop on the hanging bridges tour with a guide, Stephen, that pointed out many birds for us. We were so grateful for his knowledge and sharing it with us. !!!

Karina was the hanging bridges guide, and she was great. She went out of her way to spot bugs, monkeys, butterflies, humming birds, etc. What we didn't know was our tour bus was split between activities, and our driver seemed put-out that this causes confusion.

Day was too long, a little over 15 hours. Not the problem of our tour company and driver. When we got to the bridges operator, we had to wait an hour for their guide. Other people not with our group also joined the tour, so there were 14 of us. Not a small group and too large for the trails and stopping to hear the guide. To see or hear you had to get too close to others.
