“Once in a Lifetime Experience! - Incredible full day trip with Pedro and Carolina. They picked me up directly at where I am staying, and were kind (and funny!) from the get go. The timing of everything was perfect. Be prepared for some hiking (nothing too strenuous, but definitely a work out.) Wear comfortable shoes/breathable clothing! Everything was well worth it. The lunch (which is included) was very tasty! Carolina and Pedro also added nice touches to the trip. They were very understanding of me practicing my Spanish, and we got ice cream, and ate cuy (guinea pig)! While walking through the jungle, we tasted different fruits —right off the trees! All so yummy. The Devil’s Cauldron waterfall was amazing! We ended the trip with a visit to the “Swing at the End of the World”. That was really special. I couldn’t have asked for a better planned trip with good company. I was in good hands with Pedro and Carolina.” - Reviewed on 2024-07-14
