A day with nature
We were picked up in the morning by this pleasant tour guide lady. Then we took a ride through the city along with two other families from Europe. The guide has been telling us a lot information as we were riding on the jeep. Finally we went into the National Park. That was a beautiful experience. We were in a jungle but beautiful with waterfalls. We really enjoyed the hike and the guide was very informative and lovely. We had a great time and in my opinion no one should miss out on this amazing opportunity.

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 is more of a history...
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
