This
was
an
amazing
adventure!
We
went
in
a
group
of
6
friends
and
spent
2
days
with
Gilberto
(the
owner),
Cesar
and
Samwel
(guides).
We
did
Chipitin
on
day
1
and
Matacanes
on
the
2nd
day.
Between
the
2,
we
stayed
overnight
at
the
cabins.
Chipitin:
This
is
a
great
intro
tour.
It
was
5
hours
and
pretty
relaxed.
There
were
7
rappels
starting
small
and
ending
with
rappel
down
a
300ft
waterfall
which
was
breathtaking.
If
you
don't
like
heights
or
rappelling,
this
one
isn't
for
you.
I
would
also
highly
recommend
taking
some
extra
water
and
snacks,
although
some
are
provided
to
you
along
the
way.
Gilberto
came
along
with
us
and
was
a
pleasure
to
have.
He
shared
a
lot
of
fun
facts
and
tips
for
rappelling
in
English
which
made
things
easier.
I
would
also
highly
recommend
taking
them
up
on
the
offer
of
a
horse
ride
back
up
to
camp
at
the
end
of
the
trip.
The
hour
long
up
hill
walk
would
not
have
been
fun,
especially
if
you
have
another
trip
the
next
day.
Camp:
The
camp
is
very
rustic.
Wood
cabins
with
some
beds,
etc.
Much
more
comfortable
than
camping
but
don't
expect
a
hotel.
We
really
enjoyed
it.
It
does
get
cold
&
dark
at
night
though
even
in
the
summer
so
bring
a
light
jacket
and
a
headlamp/flashlight.
Matacanes:
This
was
a
no
joke
excursion.
Started
out
w/
a
1.5
hr
hike
to
the
stream,
with
the
first
1/3
being
uphill.
Then
an
immediate
fairly
large
rappel.
If
we
hadn't
done
Chipitin
the
previous
day
we'd
I
think
we
would
have
been
intimidated.
We
then
spent
another
8
hours
doing
a
combination
of
hiking,
jumping
and
swimming.
This
is
not
a
casual
adventure
and
would
recommend
only
for
the
young
or
fit.
Also
it
can
get
very
hot
and
there's
not
much
access
to
springs
along
the
way,
so
I
would
recommend
bring
extra
water/gatorade
and
snacks.
The
hike
out
was
another
1.5
hrs.
We
started
at
8am
and
ended
at
5pm.
Saw
some
amazing
sights
though
and
it
included
swimming
in
a
completely
dark
cave
and
doing
a
35
foot
jump.
