Book This Tour Today! - Absolutely amazing day! Julio was so kind and accommodating. He allowed us to adjust our start time and pick up location. He’s very knowledgeable, responsive and gave us a lot of information about the history, culture and area. He answered all our questions and is an excellent photographer. The lunch his wife prepared was delicious and nutritious. It’s helpful to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, layers (jacket/coat, sweater, scarf), and wear boots or old sneakers as some areas are muddy. Also you may not have access to an indoor bathroom.

Amazing! - This was such a wonderful experience! Julio is a wealth of knowledge, we learned so much about the landscape and history of Arequipa.

Salinas National Reserve - We highly recommend this private trip to Salinas National Reserve. Our guide Julio was very knowledgeable in Peruvian history, culture and politics, so we learned so much during our trip. His English was very good and he is also very well versed in current world affairs. The Reserve is vast, you will get a chance to see protected species like vicuñas up close, as well as other fauna and flora.

Amazing Day Trip - We had a fantastic day with Julio as our guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. We were picked up right on time and he was a careful driver for the long drive to and from Salinas Lake. Julio was very flexible and let us spend as much or little time as we wanted at the various stops. The picnic that his wife packed for lunch was delicious. The scenery was incredible. The best part of our time in Arequioa. We would highly recommend this tour.

Great tour to a little visited gem - We booked the private tour to the lagoon in the Salinas y Aguada Blanca Nature Reserve with Peru Nat Red. A wonderful experience! The drive over the old gravel road to Puno is not strenuous and sometimes a bit dusty because of the trucks from the mines. But the experience up there, in seclusion, surrounded by four volcanoes is simply breathtaking. The nature and landscape are incredibly beautiful, there are various flamingos, Andean geese and many other bird species, many groups of Vicuñas, but also their domesticated relatives, the Alpacas and Lamas. And all this practically without other tourists. We only saw two minibuses during the whole day tour - a real insider tip (still)! Our guide Julio picked us up on time at the hotel in Arequipa. He was able to explain a lot about the mountains, the lagoon, the wildlife and plants, but also about their inhabitants. About the culture and history as well as about problems that also arise from humans and their behavior in this area. This is all very close to his heart, he had a garbage bag with him, picked up the garbage he found. However, if he noticed that an object belonged to an offering, he would leave it lying. We found a very nice balance between protecting the environment and preserving ancient traditions. Thank you Julio! Julio prepared the picnic himself for us, in our case also vegetarian. We had it in a breathtaking setting at a small pond while Vicuñas and Alpacas stopped by to drink. Later we were still at the warm springs in the immediate vicinity of the lagoon and climbed a hill (the altitude air is not to be underestimated) to enjoy the view. It was a long but unforgettable day with a great guide. Can we absolutely recommend.

Incredible tour - We took the tour on a private tour to the Salinas National Reserve and Aguada Blanca with the guide Julio. Júlio was punctual, drives carefully, is not in a hurry and did everything to make us feel good. The landscape is truly incredible and with the guide's experience the tour was complete. We made the reservation in Brazil and everything went perfectly well! I recommend!
