Hicimos tanto la cabalgata de 4 horas como el kayak por las cataratas de mármol y son seguramente las mejores experiencias que nos llevamos del viaje a Chile.

Thank 🛶🌈✨️Publicado en Constanza OgaldeTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Hemos tomado el tour en kayak a la catedrales de mármol, y ha sido una experiencia maravillosa! Tuvimos de guías a Tomi e Ivonne y fueron unos muy buenos guías, buena energía y nos hicieron sentir seguras durante toda la experiencia, los recomiendo mucho!Publicado en Marij BTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. We hebben een fantastische ervaring gehad. Een kayaktour door de kathedraal en de Marmeren Kapel met de gidsen Andres and Agustin. We konden last minute nog aansluiten, hadden daar ruim voldoende tijd, zonder haast, en met volop ruimte voor zowel de groep als individuele bezoekers (vantevoren duidelijke uitleg over de kayaks en de planning). De gids was geweldig en beschikte over essentiële geologische kennis die ons hielp de omgeving te begrijpen. Maakten daarnaast individuele foto's van iedereen in de groep die werden opgestuurd na de tour. Tip: doe de tour of in de ochtend met de ochtendzon, of echt een zonnige dag dat de zon nog niet weg is: water wordt veel blauwerPublicado en Ve 14Trustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. We did the cabalgata with Agustín and the kayaking tour to the Catedrales de Mármol with Andrés and both were amazing. The landscape is beautiful and Andrés and Agustín are really nice persons with a lot of interesting insights about the area, the nature and the activities. We booked both tours through WhatsApp and the communication was super fast and easy. We felt completely comfortable the entire time and when we come back to this region, we will 100% do tours with them again :)Publicado en Mag MoranTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google.
