Very exciting! Super friendly people and very skilled and kind guides
Beautifull canyon to explore in a wetsuit while walking, jumping and rapelling down the river and waterfalls. Everything was well organised and prepared and the guides made sure the group was happy and safe!
Group of 8 persons, not too big so there is attention for each individual. Beautiful location. Enthusiastic people who give energy to the participants. The tour was fun and easy enough for beginners.
