The tour consists of a 5 hs walk through the Velazco Mountains where we'll get to visit places full of history, amazing landscapes and wildlife viewing. Then, optionally, we will camp and tour until the day is ending and come back through the same path we started. I was born in Agua Blanca, wich is the closest town to where the tour begins, and where we can use the rooms, bathroom and kitchen to prepare and rest. It's not a super physical challenge, but it requires a minimal habit of exercising.
In Agua Blanca, me and my family we own a vineyard and a wine cellar called Casa India where we can taste the wines and learn about the wine making experience by visiting the facilities.
The trekking is so special because it's a really quiet place far away from cities and contamination. Also the wine cellar and the vineyard are small scale, so we get to a more intimate relation with the production of wine.
