Two hours is a short time for this activity. The monitor well. I would have liked activity in the classroom and in the field like other courses I have done.Company's response:
Thank you for sharing your opinion Vicente. This activity actually lasts 2 hours and takes place all in the mountains, not in the classroom. Information that is available both in the description of the activity in Yumping and on our own website.

I liked that the guide was a biologist, it shows the difference between being a biologist or being an amateur, which is fine but it is not the same. It has been punctual. Activity for all types of audiences, adults, children, families, or whatever.Company's response:
Marisa thank you that you have shared your opinion and that you value the professionalism of the Navalmedio Naturaleza monitors.

It has not been an extraordinary experience, it has seemed a very excessive price for what we have done we have not collected a single mushroom.
A little information but of course you can not get all the scientific names. Quite expensive for what it was.Company's response:
Thank you for sharing your opinion Miriam.
If you have enrolled in this initiation activity to mycology with the idea of collecting mushrooms, we confirm that you chose the wrong activity. Navalmedio Naturaleza initiation outings are formative, as indicated in the information we provide. We offer you the opportunity to acquire knowledge about the fascinating world of mushrooms, but in no case is it a gathering activity. As for the scientific names, there are mushrooms that do not have a common name, but most of those that we find correspond to common names. In addition, to facilitate learning, you will have received the Guide of Mushrooms edited by Navalmedio that we send to all participants.
