Our guides and drivers were also wonderful. Anderson (driver) was beyond great. He couldn't do enough for us, and always ready to be helpful with a smile. Carlos, Danna, Adrianna, and Joithe were great, with a special shout out to Carlos for his great care, to Danna for imparting her knowledge, and to Adrianna for giving us such a great intro to Colombia. I really couldn't be happier. Such a great trip.
