“The experience is something we will never forget for some good and bad reasons. The views and waterfalls were beautiful and amazing! The things I wish were better are that I wish our guides took more time to explain things to our group instead of rushing through everything. I understand that there are time restraints on the experience but they completely left out a lot of very important safety information. 4 out of 7 of my group left with injuries that could have been avoided and really effected the rest of our vacation. For that I recommend saving this for last on your itinerary. I think the guides need to…”
