Cascades and Glacier - The trip was very interesting, with the waterfalls the beach of black sand and I recommend the nabo soup, quite good! And the visit to the glacier in the mountain of the Kapla volcano. The ice caves are amazing and it’s really an extreme adventure. Juliana was a very attentive and careful guide in making the trip fun and informed.
