I have very bad knees but the paths were easy enough and I ended the day without any pains. We made the travel from Madrid and back by train that day and it was worth it. The scenery was amazing!”

“My partner and I booked this last minute since another tour we booked was cancelled and we’re so glad we did. Miguel was a fantastic guide - very enjoyable to be around, but clearly cared about our safety, too. He was considerate, made sure everyone was having a good time and kindly let me sit at the front of the van as I get car sick. The waterfalls were gorgeous and we arrived before anyone else so our group had it to ourselves. Likewise the thermal springs was so amazing (ironically the water was a little cold but it was a very hot day). Overall we had an absolutely perfect…”

Coffee or tea is included; bring your own lunch, sturdy shoes, water, swimsuit and towel. Guides have included Peter and Dimitri, though your guide may vary.

“We had walked the equivalent of 36 floors and 28,000 steps the day prior, so the word epic did not slow us down; however, it was very high and very exciting. GREAT DAY! I wish that the guide was a bit more communicative, but I think he was quite shy. An overview of the day, expectations, and hints on how not to slip, like turning the foot sideways and ifmoration about the region were all given by fellow travellers or prompted by all of us. STunning views!”
