    · September 9th, 2025
    Hello, in general it was good, this is because in some aspects it was excellent and in others poor; I'll explain better: Excellent rating: In the organization, in the itinerary and above all in the human value of the people who attended us, guide=Fines, driver=Alic, interpreter=Has, they were all the time aware of our needs, preferences, and did their best so that everything turned out well; Thank you for all this. Poor Rating: The accommodations except for Choma and Cardinal Adams were poor, quite old, poorly maintained, not very clean and most of the services did not work (air conditioning, showers); this comment is to improve this aspect, even if we have to raise the price of the trip. In short: The trip met all our expectations, so we are satisfied with the trip. Best regards. Juan Cristobal.
