Great tour, service was great
Weather was great, ate breakfast before trip had a great lunch. Picked up a 6:45 and we're back at hotel around 4:30@, the waterfalls were beautiful and the sloth sanctuary was great too, Daphne did a fantastic job showing us around and keeping us informed. Alberto was also great, walk to Rio Celeste can be tricky for older less agile people.
