The activity was really great from start to finish. The first site in the mountain is beautiful, with surprising caves to discover. The canyon is impressive and offers a beautiful walk full of surprises. The climb up the ladder adds a touch of adventure very nice! The guide, a little morning swallow, was excellent and charming: she speaks perfect French and her explanations were clear, exciting and rewarding. The meal was very good and perfect to end this beautiful day. And special mention for the car, very comfortable, which made the ride pleasant. I highly recommend this experience!
