Todo bien, lamentablemente por cuestiones del Chepe y el mal tiempo no pudimos hacer el último tramo y llegar al Fuerte, nos tuvimos que regresar a Chihuahua. El servicio dentro del Chepe fue muy malo, nosotros compramos primera clase y no puede ser posible que solamente nos hayan dado un pan y un café, si eso fue en primera clase, no se que les tocó a clase turista. Uno tenía que estar buscando a los meseros para pedirles el servicio, todo esto después de una demora de varias horas, esta nos dejó sin comer en el tren y cuando llegamos a Divisadero tampoco pudimos comer en el hotel por la hora de llegada, nos dijeron que compensaría la comida con una cena en el fuerte pero ya no llegamos al Fuerte y esta se perdió. Al tener que regresar al Mirador solamente estaba incluido el desayuno pero la cena no, misma que se hubiera compensado con la que se iba a dar en el fuerte, esta cena ahí nos costó 1,500 pesos. Dentro de todo el inconveniente, es importante resaltar el profesionalismo de nuestra asesora de viaje Tere, quien siempre estuve super pendiente de nosotros y nos resolvió todas las situaciones y nos dio solución a tanto inconveniente. Excelente trabajo de Tere.Saludos

Es un magnífico viaje. En lo personal si regresaria a Barrancas pero eliminando paradas intermedias pues no tienen nada interesante desde mi particular punto de vista.
La atencion muy buena en todo momento.
