ONE MORE EXPERIENCE WITH SO MANY LANDSCAPES
Humid rainforest 21 km from Cali, past the queremal , 2 hours from the Danube ,1000 meters above sea level. A high inclination would say, with spectacular landscapes, animals protect some frogs full 🌈.. but obviously poisonous. You must go with guides from the El Paraiso Reservation, arid, muddy road q t you remove your shoes since q t you get stuck. Before arriving you can deviate a few meters and find waterfall the X... Cold but super healthy water

Great time!!
This tour was unbelievable, our group was small but we all had a great time. The lunch and breakfast was great. Our tour guide spoke English which made things easier, he did a great job. Bring a change of clothes and a long sleeve shirt, it gets cool that early in the morning in the higher elevation. Highly recommend
Operator response

when you came back to Cali, we'll be waiting to show you the beatiful places that we got here.
Greetings.

No English spoken by tour operator
it would help if your tour operators knew how to speak English. Unfortunately, we did not go because no one spoke English. We couldn’t even hard to arrange transportation.
Operator response
Unfortunately, there were two mistakes from you, that day:
The 1st one is that you chose a tour in Spanish, not in English (that's why the tourguide wrote to your WhatsApp in Spanish).
The 2nd one is that when the vehicle arrived to pick you up at the hotel, 5am in the morning, you had not woken up yet and the hotel receptionist called two times to your room and once you waked up you asked to speak with the guide, but you could not understand each other (that tourguide, for that spanish tour, doesnt speak english). So, the tourguide asked the receptionist to help with the language and you stated that you no longer wished to travel. (The receptionist told the tourguide that you had arrived very late at night and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol).
When we had the report from the tourguide, we wrote to you, in English, to look for alternatives, but unfortunately, you did not reply an that's out of our control.

So worth it - trust me !
This was an excellent tour that’s so worth seeing ! It’s a once and a life time experience to see a rainforest with so much beauty and greenery. The tour started off with a car ride where you are able to see the city, then a beautiful breakfast looking out into a picture-Esq mountains! Then you drive to the river and begin the hike. It’s a hike that you feel the work out but it’s not TOO hard. The view is so worth it when you arrive at La Sirena (the mermaid). If you are down, you can jump off a rock and it’s so thrilling or just go for a swim and relax while you experience the worlds beauty. Then the tour doesn’t end and you go to another river that’s beautiful ! I can keep going but 1000% worth it! Please book this and bring your friends :)
