    Overall it was an extremely well organised tour and communication with torradar staff was excellent. Occasionally driver pick-up times were changed at short notice and on one occasion the driver was 30 minutes late, so only just made the bus in time.

    Adventure is planned from a distance but implemented hands on on the day of adventure. The stellar reward we dedicated guides who delivered fun and afventure hands on in a sharing and caring fashion. Caring is the key a passion for what they can and do share. And through these guides they took responsibility for making activities happen and getting you back safely to your hotel. Guides like Carlos who have us on of the best scuba dives of our lives. Magical. There was Ramiro Chlcalza who ekpt making sure we were ok. And to be honest Horseback Riding after a few years then bicycling after a long recess, swimming seein tortoises as babies, sea kyaking in the ocean, all take away lifetime experiences. Any yes we proceeded on rapelling note like the endless descent on ladders but one got the feel. So when one shares an experience with someone who cares about showing what they have to offer it is special sharing that comes seldom in the journey of life. Getting to know guides who have sedicated a lifetime to their craft like Marco Herrera is an honor. You get what can be seen and that which is not seen oftem every bit as fastenating. Great hiking ans 0d0m0s meands something. Special. Sp multisport adventure it was but leave aside sport, a multiple experience lifetime adventure shares a gratitude of people that cared. They cared about activities, about animals and naures and about their clients the guests that were honored enough to be sharing the adventure. This is gold and never to be forgotten.
