Kevin est un guide fun qui a su nous accompagner pendant ce tour. Il nous a fait découvrir les principales spécialités de viande dans le marché local, puis un délicieux ceviche et enfin nous avons terminé chez un glacier aux goûts originaux et bons. Pas besoin de petit déjeuner le matin, vous serez rassasiés jusqu’au soir !
