La recogida fue puntual y el guía muy atento y cordial. La navegación en el canal fue muy amena.
Avistamos monos y hasta subieron a la embarnación a comer mango, uvas y banana . Al llegar a las esclusas fue muy interesante ver cómo los prácticos guían a los barcos a entrar al canal y pasar por la esclusa Agua Clara.
El precio está acorde a la experiencia.

We really enjoyed this day trip! It was much more engaging than just going to the museum. Demetrio was an excellent guide and the pacing of the day was spot-on
