Great service
Much better than I had imagined. Including swimming stop at the Mono waterfall takes the stress out of arrival. Very tight on timings. I have already recommended it to two friends travelling next month.

Good value
We found it well run and correct. A really practical way to get your bearings on day one. We used transportation by boat from the meeting point the whole time and it worked perfectly. We had no idea about the history of Rio Chagres. Confirmation took a day to arrive, which made us nervous. Recommended overall.

Una experiencia hermosa
Lo volvería a hacer sin dudarlo. Nos tocó un guía excelente, con mucha data y buen humor. Usamos parada para nadar en la cascada Mono todo el tiempo y funcionó perfecto.

Superou as expectativas
Saímos encantados. Reserve tempo para Chagres River, vale a pena. Pulamos toda a fila da bilheteria, só por isso já vale. Tudo bem sinalizado e a equipe atenta. Recomendo sem pensar.

One of the highlights of our trip to Ciudad De Panama. Great value for money. Our guide was the highlight: incredibly knowledgeable and happy to answer anything. A really practical way to get your bearings on day one. Drinks at the venue are wildly overpriced. I would recommend it without hesitation.
