if you want serious hiking, don’t go on this trip. If you want to walk through forest, including some climbing – it does take some effort, but not for super long – and crouch into a large cave and learn a lot about the history of the area, the flora and fauna, then go with Edwardo. You might even see some monkeys, some toucans and a quati! He will make sure you get good pictures and are well taken care of. BTW, the waterfall is chilly, but refreshing!
