Totalmente de lo mejor
Nosotros no somos fan de los tour, pero el hecho de haber estado solo se sintió menos como tour y más como haber contratado a un “driver” (si no sabes de lo que estoy hablando, probablemente debas leer nuestro post sobre Cómo recorrer y conocer Mongolia). https://filiyginoenviaje.wordpress.com/2017/06/17/nuestro-itinerario-en-mongolia/
