Great Layover Tour - Olman was a fantastic tour guide. Volcano was active, loved the CR animal reserve and coffee plantations. Waterfalls are a worth the hike just one plate of food at lunch, the hike back up the falls will get your steps in.

I interesting and well paced. - Beautiful landscape around the waterfalls and much more to see in the rescue centre than advertised, also a great guide who didn’t rush us round. Unfortunately we couldn’t see the volcano for the clouds and be warned it can get freezing up there, but this didn’t spoil the trip,
