Testimonies of those who traveled: “It's a very different experience than what people are used to. You can really see how the communities live. To share with them, to know a little of their history, where they come from, what conflicts they are currently experiencing and to complement it with all the landscapes that are totally different, is really impressive.” -Carlos
