About this experience
We will pick up at the starting point where we do not have to worry about parking our means of transport in any parking lot and we will return to the same point on the way back.
Throughout the excursion we will be accompanied by a guide in several languages who will be in charge of managing tickets without having to wait in lines and who will be happy to attend to all needs during the tour.
With a local Caminito guide, we will take a walking tour along trails and walkways within a Natural Area, crossing a suspension bridge more than 100 meters high at the end of the route.
We recommend some type of protection in the winter months as it can get cold.
