Before entering the forest, you can borrow foot covers to protect against leeches, and salt can be applied to your shoes. During the tour, the guide will find and tell you about various plants and animals. It seems that they have also selected the best photo spots. You can also swim in a waterfall, where we had lunch made by the guide's wife. I'm not sure if this is normal, but on the way there and back, about four dogs followed us without us realizing, and it was a wonderful experience to walk in the great outdoors with them.

A real experience! Both the driver and the guide are very experienced professionals and you can feel that they carry out their profession with the utmost passion, making your excursion a unique and unforgettable experience. Totally recommended!
