Muy buena organización
De lo mejor que hicimos en el viaje. Se puede hacer tranquilo sin estar en estado físico. La parada en Colombia fue lo que más nos gustó.

Reservamos meio sem expectativa e acabou sendo o melhor dia da viagem. O entrada para a Catedral de Sal é um acerto. O guia sabia bem o que contar, nunca ficou cansativo. O preço é honesto pelo que se recebe. O que menos gostei foi a última parada, meio corrida. Que bom seria se todos os tours fossem assim.

Not to be missed
It flew by and we wanted more. We had enough time at Zipaquirá to take photos without rushing. The guide gave us restaurant tips that turned out to be spot on. Easily one of the best things we did.
