This is a great eco-reserve. Victor was incredibly knowledgable and I loved the story about how this eco-reserve came into being. It's great to support the local communities who preserve such beauty. Accomodations basic but excellent for this type of reserve.

Amazing waterfalls, great food, and lovely people. You should be ready to walk around! The road coming is a bit sketchy in the winter and hard to find, but once at the park, you will love it!
