“An absolute must do for the adventurous! Felipe was a fantastic guide, lots of energy and knowledge. We began with a stop at a beautiful waterfall along the way to the main attraction. Once we got to the Los Saltos Ecopark, we hiked down to a long zip line across a canyon with epic views. After than we hiked down to the base of an intense, impressive waterfall. So beautiful! After a lunch among the trees at a small cafe, I got to relax in a hammock…. On the zip line 400m in the air!”

“The hiking trip was amazing and we highly recommend! Edwin was our guide. We would rate this particular hike as moderate but it was fully customizable to our needs including the length, rest times, pace etc. We crossed shallow streams but stayed dry and we did not encounter any biting insects (compared to other reviews). The hike location was beautiful - quiet and you are fully emersed in nature. Edwin was personable and very knowledgeable with great English. He offers numerous other hiking options and tours so I recommend reaching out even if this particular hike is not what you are looking for. We will definitely be using him in…”

“The day went perfect. I was picked up early. Javier was a gentleman and brought me to the site. My guides were Bear and Tiger and they put me completely at ease. It was obvious they’d done this thousands of times. I felt safe at all times. They were patient and took lots of photos and videos. My stuff was all safe back at base with Javier while I waited. It feels amazing flying through the air on the zip lines, crossing the bridge and climbing the sheer rock face. Perfect for any adrenaline junkie. I highly recommend this experience.”
