“Esta excursión fatal. Es una estafa. El proveedor del lugar no responde. Nunca me recogieron en el punto de recogida señalado. Nunca se pusieron en contacto conmigo ni responden los correos electrónicos ni los mensajes. Me cobraron muchísimo dinero 390 USD por 3 personas. Y EN CATARATAS DE IGUAZÚ NADIE LOS CONOCE Y EL MISMO TOUR POR PERSONA CUESTA 60 dólares.”

The team is very skilled at doing BBQs, the steak and the chorizo pan were delicious, and portions were huge too. Never felt more at home and being taken care of, would definitely do it again, thanks a lot.”
