Traveler Comments
Wonderful park and guide -- lots of animals -- beautiful flowers. The section with the Maleku tribe display was great -- beautiful crafts and interesting story.
Our tour guide Pas was excellent. The trails are well maintained. We loved watching the birds at the feeder. Lots of wildlife here and Pas was able to spot it too.
Our ecocenter tour was definitely one of the the highlights of our trip. Our guide was awesome! I swear he would see things that if I was there for a whole day I would never even glimpse. Without a guide we would have been pretty lost, but he made our tour fun, educational, and exciting.
