Listo for Lise

Had a great day out with Lise the informative tour guide and Miguel the steady hand behind the wheel. Loved the hike with Jefe Don Angelo with a rewarding dip afterwards in the Hierve al Agua. A teasing trip to the Mezcaleria to finish a great day!

Good experience

Our guide Fernando has a enough knowledge and experience to guide. I joined alone but I could enjoy the tour. There were several stop points to go restroom and that helped. It would be better if tour ends 1 hour earlier.
