“Everything was great. The tour, the boat trip, swimming in the cave, the barbecue... The tour guide, Edmilson, was really nice. He stopped at interesting spots for us to take pictures and talk about the places. He went out of his way to make everything as pleasant as possible. Just ask him anything, and if he can do it, he will!”
