A worthwhile excursion to add to your trip - Our tour leader, Aline, and our driver, Ale, both made this tour a wonderful experience! The early departure time worked out really well and it was great to enjoy the hot springs, waterfall, tunnel, and river before the crowds arrived. We spent just the right amount of time at each attraction and never felt rushed. Aline also printed photos of everyone and gave them to us at the end, which was very sweet! The drive in through the mountains was beautiful, too—an added bonus!
If we did it again, we'd probably pack water shoes, but it was no problem to buy them when we arrived at the hot springs! I also wore a swimsuit under my clothing on the way there and packed dry clothing for the drive back, which I'd recommend.

The drive there and back... - The drive there and back is rough, but once you get to the springs and the waterfall it is worth it.

Amazing tour and guide - Amazing tour with an amazing guide (Javier). He went above and beyond to accomodate our group and each person's needs. The hot springs were even more beautiful in person and we enjoyed our time! I would recommend this tour to everyone.

Ok tour - Ok tour, it is a good idea to go early and there aren’t many people at the destination then. Car is unfortunately too small for people of above average height.
