Hemos realizado una visita guiada por Las Médulas con el centro de visitas. Nos ha acompañado e ilustrado durante el recorrido Arantxa, que hora y media más agradable, que bien explicado todo, que guia más buena, ha sido un placer realizar el recorrido con ella. Sobre el recorrido, es increíble, si es impresionante ver la obra geológica e hidráulica que realizaron los romanos para extraer oro, verlo en otoño es incomparable, lo único que hay que tener en cuenta es un buen movimiento de cintura para esquivar las castañas que caen de los árboles de la zona, por cierto unas castañas grandes y muy sabrosas. Recomendable la visita y si os atiende arantxa disfrutareis mucho de su compañía.B6838MPmiriamm

Muy mal organizado. El chófer nos dejó en el parking y no tenía ni idea si teníamos que esperar el guía o no. Las 14 personas de la excursión fuimos a información y nos enviaron al centro de interpretación. No había reserva con nuestros nombres,sino como agencia. Por fin pudimos hacer la excursión con Arantxa( pertenece al parque) y fantástico. El chófer tampoco sabía que tenía que llevarnos al mirador. Llegamos a las 15,30 a Ponferrada, dos horas para comer y ver la ciudad!!???? Un desastre de organización y no era gratis precisamente!!
