A not-to-be-missed tour, especially with Alex!! - The sights, very early in the morning, were worth the 4am trip. As our fantastic driver cum guide cum translator (to English) cum chef cum photographer, Alex, rightly said "No pains, No gains". After his scientific explanation about the geysers (after all, he is a mechanical engineer), he cooked up a fabulous breakfast, in a jiffy, for the 10 to 12 of us, at a flat spot - it was a superb picnic, amidst the beautiful sunrise in the mountains, with gulls trying to poke in. And then the sights of flamingos and vicunas, was the icing on the cake. Really a 5 star, memorable tour!

Well organized tour and with lots of information - We made our tour to meet the geysers with Alex, which made the experience even better. Alex, in addition to being very receptive (speaking Portuguese with us) tried to explain in detail all the information about the volcanic phenomenon we witnessed, in addition to having a lot of patience to conduct the whole tour, which is quite long.

Wonderful excursion! - It has been a beautiful and unforgettable experience. The excursion exceeded my expectations in every way. The guide Alejandro has been spectacular: very professional, with a clear, passionate and close way of explaining. Her voice, the comprehensive information she shared and the Availability (in covers) she had to attend to everyone made every moment special. His love and respect for nature and volcanoes were visible, he conveyed it with an infectious passion. The breakfast, already enjoyed with the sun rising and warmth, was wonderful and very complete, a detail that made the experience even more magical. I am deeply grateful, because not only was it an excursion, it was an experience that I will take in my heart for a lifetime.
