Fun day in the waterfalls

This was such a fun and challenging experience. We are a family of 5: myself, my husband, and three daughters 18, 15 and 12. We are an active family and my husband I have repelled before but the girls had not. We all enjoyed it a-lot. The hiking part is nothing to be worried about and the guides are so patient and great teachers.

You won't regret this experience! it's amazing!

what a wonderful experinece! I did the same thing in Costa Rica but they pretty much said "just hold on" and these guides did a great job of explaining everything to us. the group was fun and the guides were entertaining. first rate experience from start to finish. As long as you like adventure....this is what you would hope for! Words do not do it justice. Fresh river water is a plus as well. 10 out of 10!
