Not only did he drive us to and from the waterfall but along the way shared the history of his family’s land ownership in the area. He w...

👍👍 Love the zip lining here! It’s very safe and profession and… very fast!
We’ve spotted some good wildlife here including Tucans and white faced monkeys.
Their photography is excellent as well.
So far my family has zip lined here 8-9 times and we frequently recommend it to friends.

After only a few minutes of entering the grounds we saw a chestnut toucan and a number of other animals (ñeques). It truly has an immense amount of wildlife and it's easy to get around. The tower offers a...

We saw many frogs, lizards, a snake, a sloth, many insects and interesting plants. He didn’t speak a ton of English, but my husband was able...

Hotel Rivel - Restaurant & Retreat
Restaurant
👍👍 More glamping than hotel but the ground is truly beautiful and the staff very friendly. The kitchen cooks great food too although it's open a bit late for breakfast (only after 8am). I think 2 nights here are sufficient!

El Prado Park
Hiking area
👍👍 Beautiful park, ideal to go with children and dogs. They take good care of him, the police are constantly making rounds and that made me feel very safe. There is access for the disabled but it is not suitable for wheelchairs because the paths are made of loose stone
