5+ Stars! - Daniel was amazing! There's nothing better than having a tour guide who loves their country. Daniel was extremely knowledgeable about each stop as well as things we would pass on the way. From the food, coffee, and farming, to the culture, art, and nature. I learned so much from him and fell in love with not just La Candelaria, but Colombia and all of its beauty.
