Summary:
We had a great experience during this trip. Jonathan was a great driver and we appreciated that he shared with us the plans before leaving to each site. Sebastian and Saito were great guides and cared for our safety. Saito was helpful during the hike as he lended a hand while we climbed and hiked. Sebastian stopped at times and discussed the different plant life and other things we were observing. He also made a decision to avoid the water slide activity because of the strong current and he wanted to ensure our safety which was much appreciated since I was there with my wife and kids and their safety is of utmost importance.
The hiking, cliff jumping and rope swing were a blast and Sebastian took many pictures which he shared with us afterward.
