Via Ferrata - We had an amazing day on the via ferrata.
The whole experience was amazing, our guide Victor was polite and helpful and we felt so safe with him.
The service was of top class, we arranged a pick up time and he came on the dot.
We really recommend this trip with fantastic views over the mountain range.
Once again Victor thanks for a great day.
All the best Andrew and Cecilie

Fun! - There were seven of us including our guide Miguel, a great professional, highly trained in climbing techniques, with great command of the English language. Safety was taken into account above all. The ferrata is very fun and varied. I will repeat.

Great experience - This was our second excursion with mojopicon. We had booked a canyoning trip two days earlier and enjoyed it so much we booked Via Ferrata too. Both times Miguel was our guide. He picked us up from our hotel at the exact time he said he would and right from the start he was friendly and full of energy. He gave us so much information about the activities but also about the island and nature. He’s very passionate about his job. We felt safe at all times and although we did all the activities on offer he always offered options if we were needing help or were worried. Both the canyoning and via ferrata trips are quite physical and definitely not for the faint hearted! He told us that the company limits the group sizes for safety and to stop people getting cold standing about but we were really lucky on both our trips. There were 3 people on our canyoning trip and only 2 of us on the via ferrata trip. I highly recommend booking excursions with this company. Thanks Miguel and Victor!
