This was a pleasant excursion to a beautiful garden. Animals are all rescues. They are confined but everything blended with the surrounding jungle, was well maintained, and beautiful. The waterfalls are really beautiful. And it’s a nice drive in the mountain area to the falls.

We spent over 6 hours in a minibus and about 4 hours at the gardens. The guide Diego tried to make this bearable on the way there by telling us about Costa Rica but I hadn't expected to spend all this time travelling in the transport. The gardens themselves are well worth a visit but if I did it again, I would take a private transfer and set my own agenda for the day.
