Bring layers, can change...

Bring layers, can change weather. Nice people, decent English, some odd stops but the Escobar part was a surprise bonus.

Unforgettable experience

Excellent guidance from Daniel and likewise the gentleman driving, everyone very kind and they know the subject well. Highly recommended. The site is beautiful although it is a bit tiring to climb the Peñol rock, it is totally worth it, the view is beautiful 😍
