Emanuel was a great and patient guide and shared a lot of interesting knowledge about the park and the village population. The areas we went to were beautiful and the lunch restaurant was also very good. Thank you for the positive experience!

Certainly the “swimming hole” was awesome and fun but the hiking and scenery were just spectacular Emmanuel, our guide, was fun, informative and flexible. We were 5 separate guests and he listened to us all and made sure he found something interesting for all of us. If you have the time don’t miss out on this tour.

We had the most wonderful day - one of the best tours I've ever been on. Renata and Mariana our guides for the day knew the best spots, picked an amazing lunch and were so attentive with our 6 year old who was taken away by the beautiful waterfalls we went to see. I would do it all over again!
