What Our Visitors Are Saying
It was very exciting and interesting! They introduced me to their culture and traditions! They organized a wonderful festival in honor of my arrival. They showed the beautiful natural landscapes of their region. For two days we went bird watching, I was lucky enough to see a bird of paradise!
