“Ervis the guide was great, explained everything great and made us have a perfect xìa. My bad review goes to the Enterprise that makes the trip. It started raining halfway through the excursion and we couldn't go to the waterfalls. Paying 60 euros each, just to go to the canyons. Whether it rains or not, it is not the fault of the company but if they propose a solution since we try to contact them and have not received a response...Auto-translated”
