It's a nice walk, though tricky every now and then, because not everything is separated by a rope or something, so you have to pay attention! I thought our guide was going very fast, I felt like I had to run very fast to keep up with him. I've been used to walking nice and slow for years, but didn't ask the guide to slow down because apparently no one else was bothered. He knew a lot about the area, build houses and all the fruit trees. Interesting!
