Of the best tours we have ever done!! The trails are amazing and the falls impressive. It is worth visiting all and trying to do the whole tour. We could not swim in the river because of the rain but the place was spectacular! Lucky to go with Rafael because he taught us a lot about the flora of the forest, curiosities of Costa Rica and showed his passion for nature. Without a doubt, the best guide we have known to date and one of our favorite excursions 😊

This experience went beyond our expectations all thanks to Raphael. The waterfalls are incredible but they came to life through the knowledge and expertise of Raphael throughout the entire hike. And it was all captured through all of the amazing photos that Raphael took for us throughout the hike. This is a must in Monteverde, especially with Raphael!!! It was something we added to our last day. So happy we did!!!!

The tour was amazing! Our guide Rafeal did a great job, he showed us so many things we wouldn’t have caught on our own. It’s also really clear how passionate he is about his job, which made the tour so much nicer. He also offered to take pictures of us and helped us take pictures of the wildlife, so I got some great shots! Would totally recommend the tour with Rafael for the full experience.
