Great hike with great views...some steep areas to cross as it is said in the description but very short....recommended for hikers with love for nature. The hike is out of the beaten paths since you dont cross anyone during the whole excursion.

Alfonzo was awesome! He is very talkative and knows what he is doing. Lots of really cool learning opportunities about the vegetation and different terrain. The beach and snorkeling was the best part! Amazing views during the hike. Highly recommend.

Highly recommended! If you are looking for a hike out off the beaten track, this is your experience. We were in a small group with the guide, Alfonso, who was explaining about the wildlife, plantations, plants and history of the area. Overall, an amazing experience.
