I messed up badly with my timing in the morning and expected I would have to miss out, but Ricardo quickly set me up with another group and made sure I had a great day.
Get properly equipped: water, windbreaker, rain gear, hearty picnic, good shoes, warm clothing
It was an unforgettable experience. The guide Ivo was tireless and helped us along the whole route.
