This is the minimum quantity we need to confirm a trip. If you want to travel alone or only with a companion (1 / 2 paxs only) please ask for an special quotation. Trips are closed with a maximum of 6 to 8 paxs (in 2 vehicles with 2 guides) depending on chosen destiny thus revealing our exclusiveness policy.
