We both love nature and selected Mateo based on his reviews and he did not disappoint- it’s apparent that his number one goal is for you to enjoy your experience and second is to teach you about all the beauty Cali has to offer - and he over delivered on both - we learned so much and had an incredible afternoon with Mateo!

The tour started from his house where we met his dog luna, she was a sweetheart. The ATVs were in amazing shape and very good to use. We got to see where the locals get their fish from and were even lucky enough to fish ourselves and had a beer. The waterfall and natural pool were beautiful. I’d recommend anyone to do this tour.”
