Great day on the trail - The trips were amazing and the guides equaly so. The trip to volcano arena was interesting we saw mudpuddles boiling and the path took us through diferent types of forest with diferent plants and trees. The trip to the La Leona waterfall was through water multiple times and at the end the waterfall was stunning. (Bring some shoe that you can drench and waterproof camera or give your photo to the guide so it doesnt get wet)
