What Our Travelers Are Saying…

Epic Adventure River Rafting on the Rio Coyolate
This review was a long time coming as it took me a while to compile the adventure into a music video that documented the experience. Max and company with the Old Town Outfitters are true professionals and experienced to deal with anything thrown their way. Water levels at the start of the trip were not sufficient as such to keep us from getting hung up a few times, but that is what makes for an Excellent Adventure (From Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure). The trip left my son and I with memories to last a life-time. Some day I will be back to Guatemala and Old Town Outfitters will definitely be getting by business. Here is a link to the video documenting our experience
