Amazing excursion. Our tour guide, Jason, was incredible! Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and really cared about what we wanted to do. We first went to the waterfall, Rio Celeste, the "hike" was pretty easy but there are pretty steep stairs (248 steps) going down to the waterfall. Going up, definitely had to take a couple breaks but was definitely doable. Well worth it. We saw lizards and amazing plants we even spotted a baby viper and a green forest snake, it was awesome! He gave us the option to do a 3 hour round hike but we didnt want to at the time, but loved that we had that option. We then go to swim in a little river where the waterfall went into. From there we ate at a local restaurant and the food was great. The service as well. Inside there was even a butterfly sanctuary and it was amazing! So many beautiful butterflies! (No Disney pun intended.) From there we went to a nature sanctuary. There were some cool farm animals we saw. Then once we started the walk we saw sloths! We saw babies, nocturnal ones, and got pretty close to one! It was so amazing! The tour guide was awesome. Showed us frogs, lizards, insects, amazing plants. Our whole group had an amazing day! Jason pointed out local volcanoes and even gave us the option to go on the magnetic road that pulls cars. Some group members were tired so we didnt but Jason really gave us great options to see even more of Costa Rica! I would definitely recommend this excursion, you see so much and have a really great time!
