Summary:
My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Juan. He was very informative with everything around us. This was our first time ever booking a tour, as we normally go out and explore by ourselves. And we absolutely loved this tour. The fruit we tried for the first time and the fruity smoothie drink were amazing (thanks to Juan!) The park where the river and trails are, both waterfalls and the hike up the second one were so beautiful!! Pictures do not do this place justice. 1000000% recommend booking with Juan!

Summary:
Juan was an amazing tour guide. He is extremely knowledgeable of Cali and the surrounding region. This was my second tour that I went on with him, and both were great! On this tour, in particular, I experienced the natural beauty of Colombia. You'll get to see a local park just outside the city that's situated next to the river. You'll get to see and hear countless different types of birds, people swimming in the river, and possibly even a delicious smoothie near the end. Next, Juan will take you to the waterfalls, which are stunning to say the least. You'll have an opportunity to swim under the falls and relax in the refreshing cool water. Overall, it was a phenomenal experience, and I would highly recommend this tour and any other tour you are considering taking with Juan.
