Spectacular experience

It was spectacular. But be prepared with water, snacks, etc. It is a full experience. It is also hotter than the coast. I would not want to run out of water.

Excellent

Beautiful place with magnificent view, the only bad thing is that we had rain all day. But everything was very well organized.

Amazing experience despite non-specific travel information.

Our tour guide, Pablo, was fantastic in every way. Unfortunately, the instructions given for the collection point lacked clarity- it would have helped to know which side of the road the collection was. Google maps was little help with the information provided.
