The trip was well planned. Varied and exciting. Beautiful waterfalls and beautiful scenery while hiking and a very interesting insight into the life of the villagers in the national park.

L’activité était bien! J’ai aimé mon expérience et les lagons à découvrir étaient magnifiques! Il manquait cependant de randonnée en montagne pour ma part.
