  • Seven Rila Lakes, Sofia, Bulgaria
    The Seven Rila Lakes are just 1, 30 h away from the capital Sofia, which makes them a great day trip in the nature. All seven of the lakes have their own name which reflects its typical shape or characteristics. They are situated between 2,100 and 2,500 meters above sea level. In winter, they are frozen over and covered in snow; in summer, once melted, they are a clear emerald green and are great for picnic. The meeting point for the tour is behind Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, next to cafe La Cathedrale. A comfortable minivan will take you to The Panichishte Resort cable car which goes us to the Seven Rila Lakes Cirque. The hiking path is of moderate difficulty, and the walking time is about 5 hours.

Absolutely breathtaking! The views were out of this world – peaceful, majestic, and unforgettable. One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. A magical experience I’ll never forget!

No es una visita guiada, simplemente es un conductor que te recoge y te lleva hasta el lugar. En ningún momento hizo de guía, ni siquiera en el transporte, para explicar cosas. Cogimos una audioguía en español y ni siquiera nos explicaron como utilizarla. Una vez llegas al parque, el guía se desentiende y tienes que hacer por tu cuenta toda la visita. Pienso que la publicidad es engañosa, como ya he comentado, no es una visita turista, es un transfer y nada más. No recomiendo reserva esta actividad.
