Traveler Comments
Great suspension bridges! The foliage was fabulous! The weather was rainy but that did not stop us. We had a great time!
Me gustó mucho muy bonito, muy buena atención
They had free transportation to the site, but on one of the days, there was a miscommunication with the driver and my boyfriend and I got on this bus instead of another one we were supposed to go on to a companys place. When we figured out the mistake once we got there, the lady at the front desk was able to help us out and get one of the drivers to drive us to our rightful destination that was close by. She said normally they don’t do that and even though we had to wait about 45 minutes, she made it work. Overall, the hanging bridges at this place was awesome! Saw a lot of different animals and insects.
