Amazing time

ashley_s, Oct 2022

Had an amazing time on the 2 day 1 night tour! Our guide Armando was AMAZING! He was so knowledgeable and patient with us. We were a group or 3 solo women at all different ages and hiking levels and he made all of us feel super comfortable and safe. I would highly recommend this tour!

Hands down the greatest experience ever with a world class tour guide!!
