I had the best time! I was solo and wound up being the only one booked for the time slot I chose. My guides were amazing. They were so friendly and welcoming and even offered to take pictures and videos for me! I felt very comfortable the entire time. I would recommend this experience to anyone! Pura Vida! 🌴
Excellent service and wonderful experience, all the guides were very kind and expert. Highly recommended 👍🏻
Very nice landscape, great service, very good view
Be prepared to hike up steep stairs to get to the top platform! It was difficult but well worth it. Diego, Brian, May, and Danny were amazing, and we had a lot of fun. The views of the canopy and Cartago are spectacular, and the zip lines are invigorating.
Loved that safety was insisted upon. There was always a guide behind everyone. The trail was exhilarating but a bit of. home. Great sights though. Kind guides.
Great zip lining experience!! The guides were very helpful and knowledgeable. The hike up is steep, all stairs, but worth it!
All three guides were professional, knowledgeable, and fun. I had a great time!
Excellent service, super professional, a safe and fun activity. 💯 Recommended.
