    Organization was very bad. I was left at the lodge in order to wait for somebody to do rafting with me and I had to wait almost 3 hours. Rafting was good, but afterwards there was no time anymore to visit Bonampak. No recommendation at all, especially for that price!

    Awesome adventure! Our guide Damian Chankin displayed a knowledge of the ancient Maya at Bonampak that was on par with a collage professor, His river rafting skills are second to none!
