The first day is pretty intense and a long haul, but the scenery is out of this world. Our drivers came prepared with rain gear and made us feel very safe the entire journey. Really great and fun young guys. Can’t wait to do it again- but I would advise to take your time with this trip if possible. There is so much to see and absorb!”
