“Ce fut sûrement les deux meilleurs jours de mon voyage. Les paysages sont magnifiques et on a eu l’occasion de croiser le chemin de beaucoup d’animaux ! C’est également l’occasion de rencontrer de nouvelles personnes. Merci aux guides qui nous ont accompagnés sur les deux jours. Jusqu’au jour j je n’avais pas forcément d’informations sur le lieu pour la nuit. Ce fut une belle surprise de découvrir une jolie auberge, propre et agréable. Je suis une jeune voyageuse qui est venue seule et je me suis toujours sentie en sécurité. Je recommande fortement !”
