River rafting at its best! - Our tour guides, Didier, Nelson, and Victor, provided exceptional service during our recent excursion. Didier expertly guided us through the bus tour, while Nelson ensured our safe transportation as the husband driver. Victor, our river guide, demonstrated exceptional care and attention, particularly towards our nine-year-old daughter, ensuring that she enjoyed the experience without any fear. We were lucky to observe various wildlife, including a sloth, a monkey, and a diverse range of bird species. The tour finished off with a delicious lunch! Overall, this activity is highly recommended for its enjoyable and educational value!👌🙌
