Summary: Our guide Edgar took us on an awesome night tour of the jungle at Rainmaker. We saw all kinds of frogs, lizards, and fungi that we had never experienced before. We also got to cross the river on suspended footbridges and even visit a waterfall. The food afterward was very good, and much appreciated after the hike. I would definitely recommend this tour and Edgar as a guide!
