Accommodation excellent, but could be a little less hotel chain like.
Itinerary is busy and days should start earlier to avoid late meal time.
Guide very knowledgeable and caring about customers but could better pace the hikes, not easy as the group had very different walking speed.

Met our needs exactly! Everything was well organised. The range of hotels was excellent, and it was so nice to have most dinners and all breakfasts provided. The luggage transfers went without a hitch, and the guidance information was very useful. Would use them again.

A spectacular area to hike. The village of Sotres is small and friendly. The family hotel was welcoming and the food was consistently great. Juan was an interesting and engaged hiking guide. Overall a very good experience.
