A great way to experience... - A great way to experience Arequipa and its landscape. The driver and guide were superb and the views were miraculous. This activity should only be done by those who are physically able to handle 4,200 meters. Someone on tour was throwing up the entire trip but that is not the fault of the tour guide or driver.

AN UNFORGETTABLE TRIP TO SALINAS - I really liked the day of the tour, a day earlier they gave me directions, the pickup was punctual and I rate this tour as very good since it is designed with good stops and very varied to know little by little each place that comprises the Salinas, you will really see a little volcanoes , then many flames and flamingos, finally landscape to breathe , a salt desert and extensive lagoon. 100% recommended.

Tour made to race, seemed against time - Tour made to the race, they did not give time to take the photos well and you had to go quickly to all places because they had another tour pending in the afternoon, it said tour from 8 to 10 hours and at 1:30pm we were already back, apart from saying that the tour included hot springs and were not made and did not report that, one was going with expectation of entering the thermals and could not.

Scam - We were never picked up and left standing at 6 a.m., up and a seeming “technical problem.” But it turned out that the remaining passengers cancelled and instead of informing us about it, we were lied to. I still couldn't get the money back!
