Beautiful place, for the time of the year there was not much water but anyway, it was worth it. We could not make the trip by train, I guess because of the weather, but still no problem.

The guide, Mia, was great with her kindness and explanations. I would like to do another excursion with her. She was also very patient and wise in dealing with the problem with the bus wheel. The safety of the travelers came first.
