Tour Overview

On this journey, we will traverse a total distance of 10 km (6.2 miles), gaining 800 metres (2,640 feet) in elevation. Several stops will be made along the way, allowing us to appreciate the breathtaking scenery. Our first break, roughly an hour into the hike, will take us to the renowned Turquoise Lagoon.
