    Our guide, Juan, was timely, thoughtful of our needs, knowledgeable and intelligent. He gave us facts about the animals and land beyond a normal guide because he is degreed in environmental tourism. He cares about the land and animals. We saw species that i guarantee other guides did not spot. It was a Great time!
