The tour was AMAZING and clearly exceeded my expectation! Starting with the company who helped me with transportation and keeping my luggage while doing the tour. The Driver Olivier was OUTSTANDING, he was so kind and even took us to an amazing viewpoint for the Volcano. Our tour guide Santiago was so professional and had eagle eyes to easily spot the animals in the wild, he patiently waited for everyone and he went the extra mile with the information. The place itself was worth it! 5kms hike with beautiful colorful water and tons of pics of snakes and red frogs. Thank you so much!

Anne was and excellent guide, so glad she was able to show up even if it was her day off! So insightful. Oliver, was a plus not only did he drive really well but also gave us history and culture of the region along the way. If you want to see Tenorio park and be able to learn, spot wildlife, and not worry about transport to and from you must book with them.
