“A great experience with a wonderful guide. Have been to San Juan a few times and wanted to get out and experience something new. Learned about local history and customs on the way. We had a small group of 6 older adults and Edward was helpful every step of a challenging trail and let the group set the pace. The cave and waterfall was a highlight and hiking through the river and trail was an experience. Could not have had a better day. Highly recommend getting out of old town and experiencing the countryside.”
