This tour was absolutely amazing, and I would recommend it to everyone looking for a unique and unforgettable adventure. Our guide, Fabio(?), was fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly passionate about the area. + a great photographer! He made the experience both fun and educational. However, be aware that the trail can be slippery and the terrain quite challenging, so good footwear is essential. I wouldn’t recommend this tour to anyone with mobility issues, as the path requires a fair amount of physical effort and balance. Still, for those who are able, it’s an experience you simply shouldn’t miss. The nature, the atmosphere, and the overall adventure were truly one of a kind!

This was such a fun trip! Our guide, Sebastian, was fun and made sure everyone was safe. The hike was challenging with lots of slippery rocks and climbing so make sure your shoes have some decent grip to them. The water activities were super fun and the place we grabbed lunch on the way back was delicious!

Andrea, our guide, was fantastic. Tennis shoes that you’re ready to part with worked better for our family than water shoes due to mud. Mud is like you sink into it an inch! Like other reviewers, I agree this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. We were unable to do waterside due to force of water but still plenty of rope swings and jumps off rocks into river to keep the adventurous at heart happy! Enthusiastically recommend (mom and dad in 50’s with three teens). Don’t bring anyone who isn’t sure on their feet, lots of climbing in slippery places, but also fine for most people.
