Great guide! Beautiful day! It's always interesting what you learn when you go on guided tours. The tour is offered in Spanish or English, so we had to figure most things out with our basic English knowledge. He also said a lot while driving, which was unfortunately tiring to listen to due to the driving noise. :( cheesecake and something else) and coffee for dessert. But this was pointed out during the meal. My personal highlight, the "Canyon", was mega, and luckily not that bad when it came to hiking/mountain climbing, but on the one hand it was smaller than me I thought (still great) and on the other hand, of course, it wasn't deserted, which was a bit of a shame for photos.

I had a thoroughly enjoyable day and saw so many wonderful views and met amazing people too. Thanks so much for an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend everyone does this tour. My fave part was the red canyon but Fortaleza was an exceptional surprise. That was absolutely beautiful too and learnt so much about the local history too x

Victor and Angelica gave us a great tour, with a lot of information, especially Victor is very enthusiastic and funny. Both guides offer to take photos. Sturdy shoes are a must! The path into the gorge is a bit slippery, although short. All in all it was a nice tour!
