It should be described a little differently in the pamphlet. The description was a little misleading as to what we really saw.

The name of this tour is very deceiving. The rest of the tour and the guide was very good.

I was a little disappointed of the magnitude of the waterfalls. It was also a very rainy day in the mountains. The view from the Pali was very disappointing. Do you not have any alternative plans for these trips when ther eis inclement weather?
