The service was the difference.
It was a very pleasant, rich, productive, and complete trip.
A lot of organization, from beginning to end.
I wish to highlight the professionalism of Guia Luz Evans.
My wife felt very ill during one of the outings, with sudden fainting spells and a highly worrying condition.
Nothing had to do with the trip itself, but Luz sought immediate medical help, stayed with us the whole time, managed the group because of the delay, even though I asked her to continue and we would return later.
Luz played the role of an exemplary Guide, managing the situation and at the same time giving us all the support.
In the end, we returned well to the hotel, with my wife's gradual recovery.
Congratulations and thank you very much, Luz Evans

Patricia is the best!
It’s a long, but fun day! Definitely wear good walking shoes. I hate heights but couldn’t resist this, it was definitely a challenge, both for my lungs and my fear of heights but really beautiful views at the top. Breakfast was light, so would recommend packing a snack (there’s also plenty to buy at the rock and other stops). The boat ride was better than I expected. Patricia was an amazing guide, communicated well, and taught us a lot about the history and cultural importance of the areas we were driving through and visiting. Would definitely recommend this experience to my own friends and family.
