The view from the top is simply breathtaking!

To make the day even more enjoyable, we will share a picnic on site while enjoying the natural surroundings. You can cool down with a swim in the river, which is the perfect opportunity to reconnect with the natural world.

Finally, we will return to the village via the center of the crater on the Toovii Plateau, bringing this day full of discoveries to a close as we pass through the pastures of cows and horses.
