"A beautiful cultural experience surrounded by nature, with an attentive guide who speaks perfect English".‍
"Tres semanas formidables en unos parajes difíciles, pero de belleza especial. Nos salieron al paso, tortugas, boas, armadillos, zorros, osos meleros, ñandúes, monos, venados e infinidad de aves, así como un esquivo jaguar… Un privilegio ver tanta fauna amenazada"
