The PicNic sessions

The idea for the Picnic Sessions was born out of Leticia Liga and the desire to search for destinations and sites that can host unforgettable outdoor activities. A series of excursions designed to share our passion for nature and offer a different approach to outdoor activities. So we designed excurions that combine outdoor leisure activities with a picnic, tasting flavors depending on the season and region. We invite you to follow us on this series of excursions and experiences and to see nature from a different perspective. This is The Picnic Session!

The table with ID 147 not exists.

Upon request there is the possibility for a date and schedule of your choice. See below for more information on the upcoming daily PicNic Sessions.
