Amazing views, really fun experience. - Loved this excursion- outstanding views of the lake, mountains and terrain above the city. The zip lining was really fun, added so much to the experience. The guides are amazing and looked after us so well. Finished with really tasty lunch.

A great experience from start to finish. - Highly professional and yet warm and friendly experience. The team made the ziplining a great afternoon out. My wife and I always felt safe, views were amazing (even saw condors soaring near) and the homestead afternoon tea just felt so genuine and ended the day perfectly. Thankyou so much South Road team, I highly recommend this tour.

Tirolese - I made this with Tyrolese + lunch. The tyrolese is very good. About 3km in 4 exchange points to pick up another branch and go down. Lunch's kind of rough, like a lens straw with meat.

Brilliant experience with a fantastic guide. - A fantastic experience with a brilliant guide (Ezekiel) and driver. We did the 4x4 trip and it was the best way to see the lake and town from up high and learn a lot about the wildlife, geography and people!

Wonderful half day tour - Very enjoyable tour. Gave us enough time to explore at each Balcony. Wonderful view from atop! The snacks at the farm was a good way to end the tour.

High experience - The ziplining was efficient, friendly & seemed safe & well done. The guides & instructions were very good. The lunch was a bit disappointing. It eas adequate- and empanada, fairly tasteless lentil soup with a few small pieces of meat & an ordinary brownie with a scoop of icecream. There was also wine & orange cordial, but no tea or coffee.
