Visitor Reviews of Cerro Castor
Ricardo from Argentina writes:
Las pistas tienen una señalizacion excelente, en nombre, nivel, longitud, etc. Castor es usada por los equipos de competicion europeos para sus practicas por lo que hay que tener cuidado cuando se cruza alguna pista por donde bajan a toda velocidad los deportistas profesionales.
