“A Fabulous Day with Hummingbirds, the Rainforest, and the Equator”
We had the absolutely best day with Liz D. She was so knowledgable, and outgoing, and accommodating. We learned so much, and had an incredible experience… feeding hummingbirds from our hand, hiking along the Alambi river, seeing how coffee plants start and learning how the beans are harvested. Our trip to the Equator Museum, was equally as enjoyable. We loved the hands-on activities, and we especially got a kick about the lesson on head-shrinking. The guides at Cero Latitud were so much fun, were loaded with information to share, and had such energy. We would go with Liz D. on another tour, in a heartbeat.
