One of the best guided trips I have ever done!

One other recommendation was regarding the packing lists. I thought the lists could have been more detailed as to the types of clothing to bring and the weight of the luggage.
02/19/2025
First, the experience, including the social interactions, was great. Of course, we come for the landscape and hikes and that was awesome. Accommodations, food and wine were always good, exciting and new. Options were also good and really enriched our experience.
