    The day is divided into three parts. Pool Tranquility: Start your day relaxing a while in the “pocitos”; naturally warm thermal pools that provide astounding views that soothe & clear the body and mind –perfect for “the gram.” From here, there is a zip-lining options to get you down to the next part of our day at the river.

Lalo the tour guide was awesome. My four year old got sick due to motion sickness and a bit scared in the water caves, but he didn't miss a beat and helped show empathy and sympathy by being friendly, professional, and good natured. Chacha, the driver was awesome. The whole trip was worth it! The pools were amazing, the river was super cool to swim in, the other guests were great. Awesome Xmas gift for the family and if we come back in a couple of years, I'd do this again in a heartbeat. Thank you
