    An alle die noch überlegen: Bucht es! Ich habe mit dieser Reise tolle Erfahrungen gesammelt und es war einzigartig. Schon allein die Vielfalt war überwältigend. Von den Besuchen der tollen historischen Altstädte, über die kahlen Landschaften der Vulkane bis hin zum Regenwald, war bei dieser Tour alles dabei. Außerdem war es immer super organisiert und man fühlt sich immer willkommen und gut aufgehoben. Mein Guide, Santiago, war bei Fragen oder Problemen immer zu erreichen und zudem sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Ich würde die Reise jedem ans Herz legen und weiterempfehlen.
