Epic, life-changing adventure. I cannot say enough how much I got out of this incredible journey. The riding was beautiful. It was challenging yet at the same time there were always options to stop and rest on the van if one needed to. The guides were TOTALLY PROFESSIONAL and DELIGHTFUL and added a dimension to the trip that I couldn't have predicted. My fellow riders became friends for life. The food and the culture were incredible.
