Highly recommend Curiel! - I booked the Palo Maria hike with Curiel in early October 2024 and had a fantastic experience. No one else signed up so it was completely private, which was pretty amazing. Curiel is very knowledgable about flora and fauna and took a lot of time to show me everything he saw... spiders, butterflies, birds, orchids, mushrooms and more! He's also extremely kind and cares deeply about the areas where he guides hikes: He carried out an entire garbage bag full of trash left by other hikers. He also took about a million great photos of me and my dogs while we hiked and airdropped them to me at the end of the hike. I cannot recommend him enough!

This is the hiking tour guide you want! - Curiel guided our group of 8 through a thrilling jungle and stream trail of exotic plants, birds, and reptiles. Climbing the mountain trails to the waterfalls, while dangling from ropes was sooo much fun. Curiel was an instant friend you wanted to take back home. If you desire a knowledgeable/personal/friendly guide, then book with this guy. He is fantastic. The pictures he takes are excellent for your memories. Joey B.

Excellent - Our host was very helpful and kind. My wife got Ill so we couldn’t complete the hike and Cerillo (unsure of the spelling of his name) took her by the hand and guided her back. He gave us a lot of information about the flora and fauna. He clearly loves God’s creation and we will pray that God speaks to him during his times in the mountains.

Beautiful hike and swim - Really nice hike and swim with Curiel! Would definitely recommend for those who like some fairly steep terrain, including some ropes/rappelling, with two gorgeous swimming holes as the reward. Good hiking shoes or boots are a must. Learned lots about the area and flora/fauna, encountered wildlife as well. Highly recommend!!

If you’re looking for a challenging and fun jungle adventure, this is it! - The hike with Curiel was the highlight of my week! He was right on time to pick me up, and was friendly and outgoing from the start. The hike was incredible. I definitely didn’t expect it to be as challenging as it was, but Curiel was very patient and helped guide me through the hard spots. The waterfalls at the end were beautiful and I got a chance to swim in the pools. It was honestly one of the best adventures I’ve had in the many times I’ve been to PV. Highly recommended!

Great hiking experience - Curiel was amazing, lots of fun to hike with and talk with. The hike was fun, some bouldering, scrambling, and repelling, a nice little adventure. Waterfalls were refreshing and peaceful as well! Highly recommend Curiel!

Dog attack trail - The guided tour may be okay, but DO NOT go without it. We went and within 100 ft were attacked by 12 or so dogs. By attacked, I mean one friend is bleeding from bites. On the way back, a nearby resident told us this is happening everyday. Don't go!
