Beautiful park, incredible guide. Jean Pierre was very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. He went out of his way to make sure our group had a fantastic experience — including my mother in her wheelchair.

The park is beautiful. It's worth doing with a guide to see animals you can't see with the naked eye. Monkeys, iguanas, pelicans and more.

Our guide Andrés was highly knowledgeable about the park's history and the animals we saw — monkeys, sloths, snakes, bats and insects. We would never have spotted any of it without him. Highly recommended.
