While the informal nature of meeting the guide in a parking lot lead to initial hesitation about following a stranger into the jungle, Chris quickly alleviated our concerns by sharing lots of interested nature knowledge and with his hilarious antics. We had a fantastic time following Chris off the beaten path (although still a very clearly defined trail, we encountered almost no other tourists, which was great), stopping for photos (which turned out great), and jumping into a waterfall-fed river. A fantastic experience overall!
