OSwaldo did a great job explaining anything from Colombia's sociology, upcoming elections, ecology, the birds (he found the really special ones), and it goes on. On top of that, he was by far the safest driver we had for the week. It was cold, wet and miserable but we had a really nice time!”

We recommend this experience if you don’t know much about the park or the wildlife.”
