I just discovered on Sarah Glaser’s website the following in her review of her guided trip on La Venta River, “Rio La Venta Trip Report”:

"Our group went with Global Grand Canyons (also known as Four Corners Guides, run by Rocky Contos). I had reservations about going with a guided group, I get a lot of satisfaction from researching and executing river trips by building skills. Paying someone to accompany me down a river was totally new. In all honesty I wasn’t sure how much I’d like giving up control of a river trip. In retrospect, having a guide was an excellent choice–there were so many new elements to this trip that it would have been overwhelming to figure out how to navigate an ecosystem so different from our own."
