Very enjoyable excursion, although you need to be fairly fit. The guide (Miguel, I think) was very friendly, welcoming and had some great stories to tell. He was lovely. I would definitely recommend this tour. The cave is very pretty and there are some delicious local products for sale, which are excellent quality. Thanks again to Miguel.

It was one of the best experiences we have had. We got to milk a goat and cuddle a kid, so the morning started off perfectly. Our guide on the walk with the goats, was so knowledgeable and obviously so very proud of what they were trying to achieve. I absolutely recommend this to everyone
