The park was beautiful but challenging. - It was a very nice trip the guide was great the weather was good and the park was beautiful and as expected. Take note: To see the complete park, water falls, and animal, hummingbirds bird and butterflies it takes 600 steps combined to go down and up though not all at once but some visitors will find it too much of a challenge. Overall I give it 2 thumbs up.

An awesome tour and experience - Our guide Roger was great, really knowledgeable, explained all in details and answered all questions. The visit at La Paz Waterfalls is an unique experience, you make contact with butterflies, toucans, frogs and much more. Our lunch was included a buffet with great options.

This tour was a great... - This tour was a great experience! Our tour guide, Roger was very kind and passionate about allowing us to have a memorable experience. Before arriving to the waterfall, we made two stops along the way to get coffee and wine. Both places allowed us to also buy souvenirs. The lunch was SOOO GOOD! Very fresh and delicious. Toward the end of the trip, there was a lot of walking and climbing steps so keep that in mind when booking

Great! - Had a great time, my guide was very nice and I really appreciated him, although I am forgetting his name at the moment, all these other reviews I’m reading complaining about early start times or walking to much are in my opinion, sissies. I had a wonderful and memorable day
