We spent the day led by Gabriel and packed as much in as possible. First he took us to Llanos de Cortes waterfall which is spectacular. While we did not stay more than 30 minutes, it is a nice place to take a picnic and swim if you like. From there we went to Bijagua where we rode horses along a beautiful route, did high tree swinging and hiking, topped off by swimming in Rio Celeste (aka The Blue River). We were served a delicious and filling lunch after that. From there, we did a wildlife hike at Finca Verde Lodge. Gabriel is very friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. We will be back in October and plan to do a boat or buggy tour with him. **If you have your own vehicle and don't mind doing the driving, this can save you money.
