Gabriel knows everything about the history and the nature of Colombia and give an excellent company. Very important to me was his perfect english, which gave me the chance to really take to a Colombian the very first time. The ride down the canyon was awesome and the landscape incredible. Gabriel is sixpack fit and will be able to challenge everybody. He can arrange any trip, like ridding up the glacier of Cocoy and raft back within a week. I booked him also for a very pleasant walk through Bariechara with my wife and my two little daughters.
