Incredible - Words cannot describe how amazing! Beautiful wild life, plants, and of course the water falls. Guides were extremely knowledgeable and made us feel safe during the hike and in the waterfalls. Food and waters were provided. Highly recommend

Best hike I’ve ever been on! - Professional staff. Excellent guide who knew his stuff and explained the nature, wildlife, and area to us while we were on this wonderful adventure. Safety was always first on the guide’s mind. Surprised us with an organic fruit plate to snack on while we took a break. The local lunch we ate afterwards was great. It was very clean eating. Chicken fajitas rice beans and an excellent drink choice.

Challenging but worth it - It's a difficult hike but the guide was very attentive and helpful. Bring your hiking shoes or water shoes with good tread. The swim in the waterfall pools felt purifying! Pura Vida!

Vertical adventure! - Fantastic experience, but be warned, this is not a light hike! Be prepared for a true climb next to the waterfalls, scaling rocks, significant walking through water and two mandatory swims to cross the path. Towels were not needed, so don’t bother with the pack! Jefferson was a truly amazing guide and the lunch was local cuisine and excellent. Highly recommend, but true hiking shoes and ability to climb are essential!

More than I could handle - Unfortunately for me the hike was more than I could handle. I didn’t expect it to be at such a high level. The guide was so kind and supportive and he took me back down to wait for him and the other hikers.

Beautiful waterfalls, but very scary. - I really enjoyed the waterfalls, except I was scared most of the time. I don’t think this should be called a “hike.” Well, 75% is hiking, some on narrow trails without handrails. The other 25% is spent climbing slippery rocks on the edge of waterfalls. The waterfalls are quite pretty, but hard to appreciate as I trembled on the edge. Perhaps, I should have done more research before booking this. We live in Colorado and are experienced hikers, so maybe I was overconfident. I asked the guide how many people had died on the trail. He said none, which was a surprise. I kept imagining having to use our travel insurance to get a helicopter after I slipped and hit my head on a rock. I’m not really exaggerating. That said, our teenagers had a blast. They were expecting a boring hike (ugh, mom), but instead got to pull themselves up waterfalls with ropes while watching their mother have a panic attack. The provided lunch was good, if a bit garlicky. Bring mints. The guide was great. He always came back to help me when I thought I could go no further. The first mile of the so-called hike was along a riverbed, which was quite peaceful. It belied the next mile, most of which I spent thankful that I’d recently updated my will.
