“Tampa was our guide and he did a wonderful job. The river was low and the wind blowing against us so there was a lot of paddling. But the rapids were still fun and the scenery was oh so beautiful. The crystal clear water was amazing and even in the deep spots you could see to the bottom. Afterwards, Tampa cooked us an unbelievable steak and the salad and potato was great as well”
Pick a country, a grade, or a kind of day.
