Fantastic experience led by José, Natalia, and Gina. You can tell they love their home in Puerto Rico by the way they educate and share with the group. Very thorough and communication was superior. Just one note: we weren’t able to wear our glasses because the mask wouldn’t seal, even with a strap. Just be advised,
