The best trekking
We loved the trekking!! Charlotte is the best ❤️, the place is spectacular, and the views are beautiful. Highly recommended

Wonderful tour with visits to many beautiful spots
The tour was more extensive than promised :-) It included visits to many selected bays, two lagoons, and viewpoints in the national park (by bus). Since it takes place in the afternoon, the shadows—in the sunshine—get longer and longer and the colors more intense until finally the sun sets into the sea. The last hour is spent on foot, which is especially nice and does you good. We were even able to see flamingos. The accompaniment by Estefanie was very nice! Thank you!
