Loana

Great opportunity to hike around the beautiful Retezat mountain with a great guide, Florin! Awesome and very knowledgeable, made the day super enjoyable - planned the perfect route based on weather conditions. Florin was very easy to communicate with ahead of time and coordinate for the journey, also gave a lot of interesting facts on the history of the mountain and local flora and fauna :)
