“Waterfalls Monkeys were amazing - We ended up doing monkey land and the waterfall tour. Rafael our guide was amazing. Just such a professional who took pride in his country and sharing it with us on the day. Our Morgan Freeman doppelganger driver (Juan) was also great. The waterfalls are beautiful from surroundings to clear water (plug your nose on those jumps).” - Reviewed on 2025-01-19
