Great Day of Hiking.

Jennifer_K, Aug 2025
We had a wonderful experience. By chance we were the only 2 in our group. Ricardo our guide was able to personalize the hiking to our interest and fitness level. He brought us up through some villages and to some great waterfall locations. Due to drought conditions there was very little water, but still beautiful! Ricardo was knowledgable and pleasant to spend the day with. We loved it.

Great experience with a great guide

Mona_N, Sep 2023
Ricardo or guide was very respectful , friendly and helpful. We first went kayaking in a beautiful lake, very tranquil and lovely scenery. Ricardo made us take our time and he never rushed us. Then he took us to Ardo Waterfalls where we hiked some steep steps but very doable. He kept taking pictures of us there and sharing them with me later. After that we went to lunch where he sat with us and recommended food to eat. Great lunch After that we went to the wolf trap and Ricardo told us how they trapped wolves that killed the cattle in old days. When though we were 65+ years old, we all were able to climb the big mountain there to the very top and then back,b with Ricardo's help and guidance. He was watching out for everyone in the group. Thank you Ricardo, we had a great time. Mona

One word: Beautiful!

What a wonderful day we have had with Bruno. A local who really knows the in and outs of the area. With our luck we were the only ones on this trip so it turned into a private tour. From kayaking to the views of geres national park to a lovely local lunch and a hike with a beautiful waterfall and lagoon. This was above and beyond our expectations. Thank you for the unforgetable trip Bruno.
