The 3 days trekking experience was one of the best decisions I've ever made for my short-holiday trip. Joaquin is an amazing guide and very kind person, always taking care of my needs and at the group disposal at any time. I've learnt a lot about hiking in the wild thanks to him. Also, the meals the team prepared were just delicious, homemade, everything you'll expect in a real outdoor experience. I'm very grateful with the guides for everything, they are very professionals, always know with certain where to go, what to do, etc. I strongly recommend to take this tour with this team, if I ever come back I definitely call them back!Show more
