We had the best time on this tour with our expert guide Simon Penafiel. You could really tell this guy loved what he was doing. We observed a number of birds on our way to the Estero. We ate empanadas and different types of fruit along the way as well. The Estero was fabulous. We saw several birds and observed how fisherman made their living trapping crabs. The Ecological Park was also great but hot. We tracked a group of Howler Monkeys and took some great pics. Simon pointed out several medicinal trees and plants along the way as well. A great trip!

Pudimos ver entrando al manglar monos aulladores y cangrejos. El paseo en canoa por el río Churute fue espectacular! ¡Muchas aves para ver y fotografiar! ¡Y por último, la comida estaba deliciosa y fresca!
¡Muy recomendable! ¡Especialmente nuestro guía Simón!

Our experience with Simon and Orlando was fantastic!! I highly recommend for anyone who wants a true adventure! I saw bright green parrots high in the trees, a pair of Howler monkeys (first for me!!) and the number of spectacular water birds on the river were mind blowing
