The place is 30 minutes away from the city, very convenient. You’ll stay in the observatory to wait to see bears. It was a beautiful setting and we did see some bears, no complaints!
It’s worth!!

La cita en principio era. Las 4 la retrasaron a la 5 el guía efectivamente hablaba inglés pero los guardias forestales no con lo cual no se entendían ninguna de las explicaciones además todos dentro de una sala cerrada y nadie llevaba mascarilla no la recomiendo
Response from Host , Sep 2021
hello, We are happy that you managed to observe wildlife in their natural habitat and this is quite an imteresting experience. Although this is not the issue here.
We have noticed an error in the system and they way this trips is promoted. In the next few days We will make the necessary changes, as the starting time of the trip is different due to the time of the year, and actually is related with the sunset time - how dark is in the forest. All trips in August started at 5om as the days are longer, but later in the year the meeting time is shifted earlier in the day. Sorry for this inconveninece of the starting time.
In these strange times, normally people should wear masks while indoors. We will make sure the rule is followed by all participants in future trips.
If the guide was speaking English, that means you were able to communicate with the guide and the rangers about your trip. It is true, not all rangers speak English, but all our guides do speak at least English.
Thank you for your notes regarding the trip and we will make sure we will improve the services.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
