The trip was an epic adventure. Great diversity of trails, from fast flow trails, to technical rocky and lose terrain, to epic day long adventures. It was clear to me that a lot of care and thought went into the trip planning. It progressed sensibly and was just challenging enough to take me to my limit but not too much that I couldn't do it again the next day. Accessing the trails definitely required local knowledge and a shuttle so self planning a trip like would be very difficult. The guides were all great and took great care of us. They had contingency plans to ensure no matter what happened we were able to get on the trail. They also adjusted the day's plan based on their judgement of our skill and fitness level to maximize our experience. We spent a lot of time in the car shuttling and driving to different regions which allowed us to really get to know our guides and the culture around us. The trip overlapped with my birthday and they surprised me with a cake with my name on it! Ninja mode!
