Daniel was very cordial too.Written September 20, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

And there were nice trails there for walking/hiking with gorgeous vistas. Look for condors in this area. There was a viewpoint on the way overlooking the cliffs where several nest and we were lucky enough to see a few.Written February 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan WTulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico18 contributionsAmazing trip with river people Ecuador. Tim has been working with me for a weekend stepping up my game daily. This is a must for any kayaker.

- Stephen RLondon, UK73 contributionsThis zoo houses many rescue animals that were interesting. The grounds were very pleasant to walk around. Thoroughly recommend this zoo.Written January 4, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Speed F1 contributionWater has been redirected by mother nature. There are threads saying it was a land slide and/or a creator that opened some feet before falls. Either way no more falls.Written March 19, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- YourFriendlyReviewerTamarindo, Costa Rica30 contributionsThis is a great place to chill and adventure at the same time. You can drive really close to the waterfall and then take a 5 minute walk from the parking lot to the actual waterfall. It's really strong and majestic, you can take a dip nearby (not too close to it) and best part is only 1 USD entrance per person.Written October 13, 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- gunterv2016Moscow, Russia189 contributionsThis was one of our most adventurous walks. It was raining so it made everything very slippery. We had to climb over rocks, fallen trees, into small waterfalls, saw some little black monkeys and finally reached the canyon.
The canyon itself is nice, not that spectacular.Written March 25, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I have done this before and was not disappointed this time either. Canoe was in good shape. Life jackets in order. We visited a cool place on the rainforest and got a tour with explanations of medicinal plants, customs etc. also visited a Kichwa village which was a bit weird.....not authentic as they just sit around and wait for tourists to come....then they get you to pay so they dance. I hated that part!!! We actually paid them NOT to dance. It seemed like a zoo.....very demeaning.
We did enjoy seeing and purchasing a few local crafts and the tilapia and yucca meal was amazing along with guayusa tea.
I am a spanish speaker but the guides don't speak enough English to be able to communicate well. They need to consider having someone to accompany the groups to translate.Written November 3, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
