Not to be missed! - Oliver our guide who was very caring with us. Very kind, he made sure of our comfort and safety. On the trail of the volcano we were able to observe monkeys in large numbers. We've seen fumaroles, mud pods, boiling waters from the volcano. We swam in the cold water at the foot of the Oropendola waterfall, enjoyed a very good buffet at Don Elias restaurant and finally enjoyed the Hot Springs. Fabulous!

Amazing time - I had an amazing time and glad I went. At first I was apprehensive because I didn’t want to do zip lining nor did I want to do the waterfall slide in the forest however, when I got there and in part the persuasion by my friend. ,I did it and it was the best experience ever I did all the activities, including horseback riding the Hot Springs and my mud bath. I also enjoyed (although wasn’t in the description for our package), the cultural tour in which we learned about their sugarcane and coffee cultivation and their clay making display. That was also a very nice add-on. I will be remiss, if I didn’t mention the food. . I’m a vegan so I thought that I wouldn’t have much options, but there were options to eat and the food was delicious. I highly recommend this experience.

A great hike with lots to see! - Johnny was our guide and he was outstanding. He stopped along the way to point out wildlife and was very knowledgeable. One of the coolest things about this hike is you go thru both wet and dry Forrests. It’s a well maintained path but lots of stairs so if you have bad knees it might be tough

great experience - We made oropendola and hot springs with lunch included. Good experience, beautiful waterfall and very nice hot springs even if it is difficult to make the baths displayed at more than 37 ° which limits the usable spaces. Indications within domains need to be improved, the map provided is not at all in line with reality, and it is not easy to locate oneself. The buffet included is correct. However, the fact that towels are provided for hot springs and that there are locker rooms with locker is great! A nice day out

Glad we went. - National park tour Guide Johnny was great. Adapted tour for family (senior, two teens, two adults). Lots of walking but all doable. Some uneven ground. Loved seeing the waterfalls in the park. Water was flowing too fast to swim but view was amazing. Lunch was good. On the poorer side, some confusion about transportation from adventure centre to hike site. Had to buy national park entrance online (couldn’t pay cash - so be sure to factor in that cost). Didn’t make it to the hot springs due to transportation challenges, wet weather, tired family and running out of time. Definitely more than five hours worth so plan a fuller day.
