Excellent tour. Our guide Luis was knowledgeable about the biodiversity in the rain forest and pointed out snails, stick insects, and other tiny things we would have otherwise missed. I booked this tour through our hotel and did not have full info. We rode in van for about an hour from San Juan, stopped for a bathroom break, stopped at a waterfall for a photo op, then hiked uphill to Mount Britton. The trail was paved, a bit slick at times, but hiking boots not necessary. I wore running shoes. After descending we had a stop for lunch at a roadside place- delicious (cost of food not included in tour cost). Then we went to a quiet spot on the river where folks could swim or jump in off of a rock or off of a rope swing. It was relaxing.
All in all, really great. I was glad it was a small group (9 people). I wish I had totally known the full itinerary in advance- I would not have packed snacks (I didn't know about lunch) or worried about a change of clothing and shoes, for instance. On the other hand, we didn't get caught in any downpours. If we had gotten soaking wet I might have been glad for the change of clothes.
