The Package

We booked the return loop package from an Infotur office in Camaguay. The agent called the agent for the trek and we spoke to her over the phone to book. We gave our names and the desired trek date. She asked about accommodation the night before and after. We asked her to setup the night before at the trailhead village of Santo Domingo. She also said to caller when in Bayamo and she would have a private taxi (car) pick us up (both night before accommodation and taxi were not part of the package price) of $65 per person. See map below or video for trek details.
