Very good ride!

We went by bus, along a dreamlike road. The explanation given by Carla, our Mexican guide, was excellent. José, our Colombian driver, a 10. Both very kind.

Fun for all

Light walking up and down a trail to boat landing. Getting the spray from the falls while in the boat is refreshing and fun.

Rhine falls

The experience did not meet my expectations, particularly when compared to other major attractions like Niagara Falls. Given the cost, I found the value to be unsatisfactory. However, the guide performed adequately and the driver was professional, ensuring our safe return.
