“My sister and I have been very blessed in our lives to travel to many different countries and experience many different cultures, but this trip was among the most special. The people we met on this trip were incredibly special and those who worked with us were incredibly accommodating and welcoming. [Our guide] Fernando was so patient and kind, and with a group of 9 women I don’t think that was an easy feat!”
