Lala Leona - The tour was full of adventure the minute you step out of the vehicle. Alehandro was the perfect gentleman. He made sure we were all safe and comfortable with the ropes, ladders etc. The trail is a moderate level trail, hiking boots are not a good idea. Light weight shoes not water shoes are best. If you are giving consideration to this opportunity, go for it. Be adventurous, be brave, be amazed.

One of best waterfall hikes! - This is simply superb. An easy walk through forest takes you to a river. You walk along and through it for about an hour, climbing around and through rocks, until the swimming begins. Beautiful scenery all the way, but the conclusion will blow you away. Just do it.

Exceeded expectations - I NEVER do guided tours and avoid tourist traps like the plague, so was hesitant to book this. When I read reviews saying ‘wear appropriate footwear’ and ‘need to be moderately fit’ I thought pssssh it’ll be easy…. Fast forward to WOW. Just wow. Myself and 2 teen boys- SUCH a good time! We were lucky enough to get Alejandro as a guide…. a young man who also loves the off the beaten path route. He used his judgment for our skill level and guided us to a day that even my teen boys loved. You absolutely need shoes- flip flops will not work. Lots of boulders, rocks, ladders and streams to traverse. Also accurate- the last section getting to the base of the fall involves pulling yourself against rapids with just your arm strength until you can step up. Side note- do not wear loose shorts or bottoms! You will lose them. The water is that strong. I would not recommend this for inactive people or beginners. Book specifically with this company. The one next door to it was PACKED while we had a private tour. Recommend 100% and I don’t do group tours!! Thank you Alejandro 🤙

The beauty of nature! - The place is beautiful! Criptes, falls. River, trees, birds, bat, etc. You will have plenty of souvenir photos. Bring everything you need: swimsuit, t-shirt, water shoe and water camera. About 3 hours.
