Unique, unforgettable day.

Carrie_S, Apr 2023
Aura is a wonderful guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable with lovely English. She is well received in the Shanty Town. I was welcomed warmly and felt safe, as I expected, but others have commented about their insecurity in this regard. What the community leader has done in the past eight years for her community is remarkable. I am so grateful for the hospitality and the experience. Highly recommend.
