    Die Masca - Tour ist uns von Freunden empfohlen worden. Die Buchung war über TUI sehr einfach. Der Preis ist nicht günstig aber für den Schutz der Natur und Umwelt ist es ok. Der Guide war sehr sympathisch, kompetent und umsichtig. Das hat die Tour spannend und abwechslungsreich gemacht. Insgesamt konnte man die 3,5h gut laufen, gute Wanderschuhe sind aber wichtig. Sehr zu empfehlen !
