We had a fantastic time! Everyone in our group agreed that it exceeded our expectations. As for myself, I very much enjoyed the combination of the cultural experience with the intense experience with nature. The butterfly and bee project, the shama, and the tree planting all illustrated the values these communities hold; seeing how they advance with so few resources was inspiring. These experiences felt very real because our guides, Daniel and Victor, are from the local region, extremely knowledgeable, and deeply committed to these communities. I almost felt uncomfortable at times by how hard they worked!
Of course, the food on La Perla was excellent. And I can say that the entire crew paid attention to every detail. The 'famous' musical bands that played several evenings were a blast.
