Route
#1
Take the roads less traveled, be one of the locals and feel at home. You will pass through 3 national parks and two nature parks, as well as an area protected by UNESCO.
Do you want to take less known paths? How about staying in a place where the sun rises and sets twice a day? Do you know what the rainforest looks like and do you want to get to know the river valleys, mighty canyons, incredible construction projects and let your breath stop before the beauty of the natural and artificial lakes? We guide you, and you take enough time, relax and enjoy.
