Local conditions may be challenging; therefore, we urge flexibility and understanding as we visit unique and somewhat remote destinations. Coaches, guides, equipment, and services are the best-available in the area, but may not be up to the standards of those found on other excursions. A moderate amount of walking and standing for approximately 4.8 km (3 miles). At times over uneven, bumpy surfaces and inclines, with a few steps to negotiate to get on/off the coach and at various sides visited. Do not take photos of government entities or people without their permission. Please ask your guide for guidance.
