The itinerary involved four days of hiking through stunning landscapes and villages. The hiking was challenging but the paths are well maintained.

A great trip. The itinerary involved four days of hiking through stunning landscapes and villages. My guide was fantastic, very friendly and knowledgeable. The guest houses were comfortable and the food everywhere was excellent. The hiking was challenging but the paths are well maintained. The final days were a change of pace, visiting islands on the lake and a museum which was very interesting. I would definitely recommend this trip.Show more
