AMAZING Trip “If you are looking for a trip that features rugged beauty, unspoiled landscapes, and a different ‘scene’ each time you turn around, this is the one to take! Our many hikes were diverse enough, challenging but not relentless, and complemented by excellent guides knowledgeable of the land and its people. You won’t be disappointed especially if lucky enough to have Robel as your tour leader
