You will enjoy a traditional lunch (not included) to recharge and will have some time to rest your feet before finishing your adventure.
Lastly, you will be guided to two of the most relaxing places in Minca. Pozos Azules (Blue Wells) and Waterfalls, are both natural formations pinned to the mountains and with fresh and cold water. You will have the chance to refresh yourself in both places before heading back to your hotel.
