I took the Dune Buggies tour recently and it was amazing! Well organized and guides were fantastic! They made sure our safety was ensured and at the same time allowed us to have fun driving the buggies. We made a stop at an incredible natural water cave and had the opportunity to swim in it. Then we visited the coffee and chocolate farm and were able to try out their local products. The hot chocolate was fire! Unforgettable experience!
