Awesome tour with tourguide Andres Corrales. Friendly and kind tourguide with lots of knowledge, patience and humor. He took time to make sure we had a really pleasant stay at the National Park.
This was a fantastic 4 hour nature hike and if available, we highly recommend Andres Corrales as your guide. He was extremely knowledgeable about all of the plants/birds/history and terrain!
