beautiful hike with lovely guide - We had an amazing time hiking the butterfly valley with the tour guide Manuela! Views were beautiful and our guide was super sweet and knowledgeable. We got to see a lot of different animals in addition to the butterflies. We would absolutely love to go again sometime in the future.
