Awesome walk! - Christian went above and beyond as our guide. He's highly knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife. I went with my 71-year-old parents and the walk was easy for them because it's pretty flat and we stopped often to look at wildlife. I highly recommend this activity; it wouldn't have been nearly as great if we went without a guide to point things out.

Great educational experience! - We saw several different kinds of birds, howler monkeys and white-faced capuchin, and a couple of agoutis. This was an educational hike which included not only information about the animals and plants we encountered, but our guide also answered many questions about Panama itself.

Saw so many animals ! - Nico, our guide has a degree in Biology and was so knowledgeable about all the fauna & flora along the trail. He made the drive interesting discussing Panama history, geography, anthropology, and culture. He was a superb hiking guide. He was able to spot animals, birds, insects and plants that we never would have seen on our own. In 3 hours along a flat wide path, we saw 10 species of birds, including the Collard Aracati (small toucan), the Yellow-Headed Caracara, and several species of Trogon. We saw a pack of Howler Monkeys, several 3 Toed Sloths, and many agouti. He also pointed out the millions of leaf cutter ants, termites, and millipedes. And we also saw tiny fish and large river crabs. His professional camera made it easy for us to see the animals even high up in the canopy, and he brought along binoculars to share. The only down side was the description mentioned that water was included, so we didn’t bring our camel back packs, however, there was no water so we had to buy water along the way and carry the bottles. However, the hike was super enjoyable, highly recommend!

Best tour ever! - I have been coming to Panamá for over thirty years and have been on a multitude of tours. This tour was the absolute best, mainly due to Nico, our tour guide. Not only did we love the tour but we learned so much. Nico rocks!

Not a good value - Walked on a road, not a trail. Wasn’t a wilderness experience with cars on the road. Not a good value.
