“Very smooth and easy transfer - driver was right on time and picked us up from outside our hotel. Adriana is a brilliant & capable driver and gave us lots of facts and information about the area on the way there and back. Highly recommend getting the early tour as we pretty much had the whole route to ourselves for the first hour or so. Hike is easy going if you’re used to walking a reasonable distance, the main aspect is just lots of up and down step / hills. Route was very clear & we had easy to follow instructions from the driver. Nice cafe to stop off at…”

The sunrise was a magic experience, and the partial PR1 hike was very nice (the full PR1 is closed after the wildfires). I definitely suggest this experience, especially in this time of the year (October). Thanks for the great organisation and communication!”

This place was huge with many artifacts. When we reached Fatima the first miracle happened. It stopped raining the entire time we visited Fatima. What a unique experience!! Daniela was our guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. We had free time to explore the property. We left Fatima in the dark. On the way back it rained again. Sometimes there were torrential downpours!!! The second miracle occurred when Daniela and Daniel reached our hotel…”
