“O café da manha e almoço oferecidos sao vergonhosos. Local péssimo, sem nenhuma infraestrutura, banheiro precário, poucas opções e comida ruim. O guia nao nos passou muitas informações sobre o local e dormiu na van durante praticamente todo trajeto. Ja o motorista, fez ultrapassagens perigosas e corria bastante. Apesar disso, a parte dos quadriciclos é legal e a montanha é incrivelmente bonita. Vale ressaltar que a parte de estrada de chao da viagem é extremamente perigosa, estradas estreitas, sem acostamento e com abismos ao lado.”
