Beautiful Rainforest.

Pick up on time. Henry drove us to the beautiful National Park and explained all about the nature and history of the place, as we explored by foot and car, at our own pace. Absolutely wonderful. Henry then deftly drove us to the airport in plenty of time for our 4.45pm flight to London. A fantastic way to end a month long holiday around South America!

Great half-day Trip!

What a great experience. A combination of hiking, nature walks, waterfalls, national park visitor center visits and a drive by the beautiful Botanical Gardens. Our driver, Roberto, was a wonderful host. Very knowledgeable about the different flaura and fauna and clearly had very good relationships with all park rangers. We felt very safe the entire time, saw a variety of monkeys, birds (no sloths, unfortunately!) but it was the end of winter. The weather didn’t cooperate for all the views but on a clear day I am sure the views are amazing. We had two wonderful stopping points with no clouds so can attest to the views. We were fortunate to see two hang-gliders take off from the hang-gliding deck. What an experience to see! Roberto was great. Very knowledgeable and personable. Would definitely recommend this half-day trip.
