What a wonderful day we had, swimming in the river, watching a professional chef do his thing, and enjoying what we created. This was a gastronomical experience I certainly won’t forget! The river was beautiful, relaxing, and not touristed. Of course the food was incredible, but so was being able to actually see it being made, and to hang out the group. What an enjoyable day I’ll be reminiscing about for a long time.

We had a great time with Rudy visiting Cañon Del Sumidero and Chapa De Corso. He had a great local knowledge as he grew up in the area, and he has a long experience in tourism. The experience was very personal, and Rudy followed our pace, which was really nice.
I would highly recommend this tour. In addition I suggest booking multiple tours with him given his big knowledge.
