Gran día para descubrir las maravillas de uno de los bosques mas antiguos del mundo. Muy intenso (casi 12 h) pero muy cómodo puesto que íbamos los 5 mie bros de mi familia en una van privada.
Nuestro guía, Steve, excelente. Didáctico, muy amable y nos hizo visitar algunos puntos no previstos que nos sorprendieron.
Totalmente recomendable.
