Beautiful place and guides are very friendly
Overall we liked it a lot, I went twice, the first time I didn't have a very good experience with the girl who is outside with the lockers, it was a bit rude but assuming we all have our moments not very good, we let it go! The second time I went was excellent, we did canopy+ATV plus lunch, the food was delicious without a doubt it is an excellent place to visit and de-stress, the guides are very good at what you do, thank you very much for receiving us!!
