5.00On Wednesday we had our rainbow valley tour I want to highlight the good vibe, kindness and productivity of our Carolina Guide and also our driver Sergio. Because of the weather we could not enter, but he offered us another alternative... after a while he kept asking about the possibility of entering the rainbow valley and managed an alternative. It was a great experience we also agreed with her in red stones where she also had the best of good vibes and with cesar who was the driver that day. So for Carolina 1000 stars
Extraordinary tour!
