Excellent tour, I really enjoyed the contact with nature and the local people, the impeccable service and attention - Very good tour, I chose it because on another trip I had done the typical ones and I really liked it a lot, Lucas the driver explained to us the history of the place we were visiting, it really was an educational walk in contact with nature and getting in touch with the nature and the life and history of the place. We saw a whale, wild horses, birds and enjoyed a delicious breakfast and lunch. The vehicle 10 points

A horrible road to the crab - Not worth to do. The road is in gravel full of holes and dangerous driving. Arrived there is nothing worth to see. A total lost of time and energy
