Eric was an exceptional guide. He was very cognizant of our well being at all times. The hike was moderately difficult but the waterfalls at the end made it all worth it. Highly recommended!

This trip was definitely a highlight of all my trips in Costa Rica. Eric is a friendly guy, who loves hiking and basically shows you some hidden gems. Bajos del Toro has beautiful waterfalls in different colors you can even swim in, located in a gorgeous valley. If you want (and the weather allows it) you can even take the adventure to another waterfall over steep, muddy jungle paths and through a river.
Dieser Ausflug war definitiv ein Highlight aller meiner Ausflüge in Costa Rica. Eric ist freundlich und liebt das Wandern und führt einen zu den versteckten, weniger touristischen Schätzen. Bajos del Toro hat verschiedenfarbige Wasserfälle, in denen man sogar schwimmen kann und die in einem wunderschönen Tal gelegen sind. Wenn man möchte (und es das Wetter erlaubt), kann man sogar das Abenteuer auf sich nehmen, zu einem weiteren Wasserfall über steile, matschige Dschungelpfade und durch einen Fluss zu wandern.
