  2. Optional Casa de Tia Aura

    Add one theatrical legend stop if the group wants a story-heavy indoor break.

  3. Choose a Presa-side meal

    Use Restaurante de la Presa or another nearby listing as the anchor instead of rushing back to the center.

  4. Return deliberately

    Book a ride or walk back only if the group is fresh, weather is clear, and the route feels familiar.
