Spectacular landscape

Spectacular scenery by the riverbank of the shells. The amphitheater, the devil's throat, the colors of the mountains, everything is of incredible beauty

Good accommodation and good excursion!

We stayed the hotel Alexander I. It has very good location on the street of the restaurants, the rocks and the bars. The service and attention are excellent. Always well prepared and collaborative. The rooms have good AA and heating which work very well. The only reproach that was noticed was that it does not provide toothpaste, brush, comb or anything. A small soap for 4 days accommodation. The view from the room is beautiful and the previous detail we forgive you. The breakfast buffet is VERY complete and delicious. The restaurant is good and we took advantage of it the night it rained. Bottom line: we'll be back.

SCENIC ROUTE

Spectacular landscape. To enjoy at every stop the shapes and colors of the mountain. Ideal for walking a little away from the route.

I recommend the experience

It was a very cute visit, the guide accommodated us so that we could stop at the points, when there were fewer people and be able to be calm, take photos and walk
