If you are looking for a hookup to get away from the tourist trips and want something a little more personal, then I would suggest Alberto to be your tour guide. We met him at our resort and were extremely impressed by his personality. He gave us a ride to La Bruja and we talked to him regarding a walk-a-bout. He had never done anything like that before and was very honest about his limitations. I think his honesty and the fact he spoke great English attracted us to him. Our trip was more like being with a family member. He is not a licensed business but would like to start one. He also provided us with rides back to the airport when we left. Before leaving we went to his home and met his mother and brother. We have since kept in touch by e-mail. Great kid with a huge heart and very sincere.
