This was by far the best tour we took while in Costa Rica, thanks to our incredible guide, Jorge. Jorge planned a day like no other for us. He was kind, humorous, polite, respectful, fun, and quite knowledgeable. We experienced the best of Costa Rica, truly la pura vida!!!! We saw gorgeous waterfalls, unique birds and animals, and other amazing flora and fauna. We enjoyed comfortable, well paced hiking, an exhilarating waterslide, thrilling ziplines, soothing thermal pools, marvelous rejuvenating mud, delicious food and so much more!!!! Jorge also played some great music and is truly a rock and roll aficionado. Jorge treated us like rock stars and with our sincere gratitude for his efforts, we enjoyed a tour of a lifetime. We highly recommend this tour, especially with Jorge. He is SIMPLY THE BEST!!!!

Had a great visit here. Mayron was a wonderful guide. Knew his stuff. Saw both 2 and 3 toed sloths, toucans, dart frogs etc. Very interesting visit. This is a great place to go - there's another sloth place more in Fortuna, but we'd heard nothing good about it - don't know - but were extremely happy with this place. Highly recommend. Don't let tripadvisor scare you with all the phony baloney wuhan death threats or all the "was it safe" nonsense! Get out - go - have fun - take zinc, vitamin D, go diet practices, exercise and SUN!
