Guided tours

dimonika

Most of the courses are designed in such a way that anyone in moderate condition can enjoy the experience.
Each “caravan” is led by an experienced guide at the head and heavier expeditions also benefit from the 'back-up' of a second guide, who closes the ranks.
Apart from choosing the right direction, the guide at the head and our tracking dogs detect any obstacles.
The fauna and flora are very rich and photogenic.
There are plenty of tree species, many medicinal plants, beautiful flowers and magnificent butterflies, insects and birds to discover.
Nevertheless, visiting gold panning sites remains the center of attraction.
