It was very rushed, but we saw a lot. I'm not sure how it could be different without extending the trip. The jungle was but a blip. I do think that leg should be revisited. Otherwise, the trip was so fantastic. It was such a relief not to have to worry about logistics, food or transportation. We had a wonderful group of families and our guides were truly amazing. We miss them!
