Need better pick up instructions. Other than that the ride along was cool and informative. I didn’t feel out of place as a solo traveler.
This tour was amazing and our host was so lively and knowledgeable!! He welcomed all questions and made the experience so fun.
It was a good experience; had a hard time hearing the guide due to driving noise. It was as expected.
This is more of a history tour than animal watch tour. They did however preface the trip by saying we may not see anything. I’d still recommend if you appreciate nature
Bruno was an incredible guide. Very knowledgeable and engaging. Great way to see the park and get great views.
Erica was great and had a ton of energy. Great sites and she accommodated my need to get to an ATM. Great group I was with as well.
The view in the forest and different landscapes were awesome and breathtaking. Serginho is a great guide and human being. I enjoyed every part of his tour. Definitely recommended.
