Amazing hike in Rio Celeste - It was a fantastic experience, the beauty of the Celeste river is breathtaking which is a gift after the hike. Brandon was our tour guide and he made sure we were safe and enjoying every minute of the tour. He gave us clear details of what to expect. On top of all, we saw 2 serpents on the hike.

100% recommend - Great tour, the waterfall is stunning and you get to do a little bit of a hike where you can spot a lot of wild animals. Joseph was a great tour guide and showed us plenty of animals which I for sure would have missed. The tour ends with swimming in a beautiful river.
