Excellent experience!!!
Excellent! Super recommended. It was a difficult day for the weather to see the auroras and it was really possible because of them. Thank you very much Juan Pablo for giving everything so that we could not only see them, for all your good vibes and information that you were giving throughout the trip. Thank you very much again!!!

Aurora chase
It was a very snowy day so it was very nice of the guide, Juan Pablo, and the driver to drive almost to Finland in order to find a clear gap in the sky. The aurora was not very strong but at least we could see it. Juan Pablo was very friendly and it is always nice to have somebody who speaks spanish
