EXCELLENT Based on 599 reviews Patrick Schmidt2025-09-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wir hatten eine tolle Führung über das Gelände, sagen viele Faultiere teilweise sehr nah. Auch andere Tiere kamen nicht zu kurz. Jamy war ein toller Guide! Und zum Abschluss gab es noch leckere Tortillas. Ein super Erlebnis. Kiana Ortiz2025-09-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Un moment magique passé au côté du guide du lieu qui m’a permis de pouvoir voir plusieurs paresseux, de toutes petites grenouilles, un iguane, une flore merveilleuse et un toucan 😍, j’ai eu cette chance incroyable . J’ai pu aussi goûter l’enveloppe des fèves de cacao qui ont un goût fruité très bon. Je n’ai pas eu la partie cuisine avec la canne à sucre et les pains. Une gentillesse incroyable des guides qui se souligne et qui rend le lieu exceptionnel Merci Tom Branson2025-09-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area. I would recommend going with a Guide as they will easily spot wildlife that you think you will see but won’t in reality ! Ours was really friendly. Takes about an hour or so to an amble round. You could do it in more or less depending on how much time you’ve got. They gave you a map, but if you go round with a guide, they take a route that covers everywhere. If you want to see sloths, there are plenty here, and they are marked by flags so that you know which tree to look in which is helpful if you don’t have a guide Toilets on site and decent parking facilities. Small gift shop inside. No special footwear required because the paths are made up. Amanda Dick-Peddie2025-09-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
