My top pick. I've never done anything so amazing before, overcoming personal limits with ease. A proud feeling. Jumping into the water from a height of 5 meters, abseiling 18 meters, scrambling through the canyon, sliding down water slides. It was amazing and I would definitely recommend it. Note: You should wear good, sturdy shoes and be fit. The climb up the mountain in full gear takes 25 minutes in 33-degree heat.
