Tour La Carbonera from La Cabana Ecohotel

This is an experience for kids older than 8 years old. Edward who works with La Cabana is an experience tour coordinator. It is a long day as the driving is intense. My flights were delayed and Edward and the manager of La Cabana Maria Camila helped us rescheduling our tours. The food at the hotel is excellent I contacted the hotel after the earthquake and they didn't have any damage but the airport and Salento did.
