lackley [10-01-2013]

This was an amazing small group trip, enjoyed by all, particularly my adult children. The national park tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and anxious to share his knowledge. We traveled via a Jurassic Park-like four-wheel-drive vehicle, through the sand dunes to see ocean/river, local color with the mussel fishermen and history. We saw lots of different birds and an amazing spider. Definitely off-the-beaten track and a break from city life. If you like the outdoors and are looking for something different, you will enjoy this trip. I would have appreciated a little more background about El Rocio (although most likely, we also could have specifically asked for this, but did not).
