A must do while in PV! - This hike was hands down one of the best I have been on! Curiel took such good care of us, he was so kind and knowledgeable, we learned so much during the hike! I highly recommend any hike with him, and we will be doing a few more next year on our trip!

Fantastic tour off the beaten track. - Had an amazing hike through the forest to swim in an isolated pool. Curiel lead us through the forest showing us plants and animals native to this region. Extremely knowledgeable, super friendly and fun. We had such a good time. Everyone should do this! Extremely LGBTQ friendly.

Waterfall Hike - This was a great physical workout with waterfall as reward. Curiel is an excellent guide, knowledgeable and careful. He was helpful when the trail became tricky. Suggest walking shoes or hiking boots for this hike.

Highly recommend Curiel! - I booked the Palo Maria hike with Curiel in early October 2024 and had a fantastic experience. No one else signed up so it was completely private, which was pretty amazing. Curiel is very knowledgable about flora and fauna and took a lot of time to show me everything he saw... spiders, butterflies, birds, orchids, mushrooms and more! He's also extremely kind and cares deeply about the areas where he guides hikes: He carried out an entire garbage bag full of trash left by other hikers. He also took about a million great photos of me and my dogs while we hiked and airdropped them to me at the end of the hike. I cannot recommend him enough!
