Arturo and the team were amazing on our white water rafting tour today. Always felt safe and they for sure know what they were doing on the bigger rapids. The fun crew really made our experience a memorable one. The views of the Tampaon river are amazing.

“Love nature
Tamul was a beautiful place. Our trip was excellent, transportation was clean, the canoe trip was super fun, and the food was delicious. Our driver and guide were taking care of us all the time. We would like to go back to San Luis Potosí and book again more trips”.

“Lovely day on the water
My brother, friend, and I did the one-day waterfall and water cave on a wooden canoe. We were picked up at our place and scheduled that was very easy through WhatsApp. We were then driven in a van with 6 other tourists to their campgrounds where we changed and set on our way to the river. We were each given an oar and life jacket. They were nice enough to keep our stuff on their van (suitcases and all). We rowed down the river and stopped once to walk when the rapids got heavier and then once more for pictures near the waterfall. It was a pretty waterfall and all, but overly not that impressed. We then rowed back to the water cave where we got a snack bar and got a chance to swim. Finally, they took us for lunch and it was delicious.
