    The trip with Tierra del Volcan was awesome. We had the best guide in Santiago Garzon as he was very knowledgeable of the area and gave us great history. He was super friendly and accommodating. Our stay at Hacienda El Porvenir was amazing. It really was like "mi casa es tu casa"! The staff was amazing and went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. It was fun to try so many of their local foods. The food was delicious! We enjoyed our stay VERY much!
