I think it would be advisable to include some other activity, because there is too much free time.Review translated from Spanish
Something that I did not like anything is that you offer canyon descent, I hired them and the cooks refused to give us breakfast, we had to find our lives for breakfast, and I had it paid for.
Also the day that my family and I did not show up to eat, we communicated in advance, the gate saved our food and denied us a breakfast because it was sooner than usual, for going to do an activity that you offer ...
It was a very good experience. Very nice monitors. The beautiful horse ride.Review translated from Spanish
All very well to repeat.
