Cute

Regarding the guide, driver... everything is perfect, the place is beautiful, full of history and life, but the weather didn't help, it rained a lot which prevented us from doing the trail and walking around more of the place. The jeep could have some kind of canvas on the sides, to manually close in case of need, because we got a lot of rain on the way and we got wet inside the car.
