    Everything went smoothly, like clockwork—we were well-fed, comfortably accommodated, and everything was organized perfectly. The only downside was the weather. A cyclone hit us, but we managed to visit everywhere, even in the rain, though it made taking photos a challenge. The fog was as thick as milk and rolled in almost instantly. Everyone did an amazing job. Thank you all!

    The trip was exceptionally well-organized, with every detail executed to perfection. The program was followed in full, and the transfers were arranged precisely on schedule. The guides were outstanding. During the hikes, the routes were tailored to suit the preferences of the group. With multiple guides, we had the flexibility to move at different paces and split into smaller subgroups. At the airport, we were greeted in a comfortable SUV. On the return journey, we made a stop at the market and the monument featuring the bear. There was plenty of time for shopping and taking photos.
