Excellent day! - Really great tour! Clear communication, weather was a bit touch and go which is really rare here but they offered alternative options in case they needed to cancel (which thankfully they didn’t). Beautiful scenery. Leo our tour guide was really friendly and knowledgeable. Great breakfast and lunch included. All round great day!

Worth it - Worth every penny Francisca was extremely knowledgeable and incredibly kind throughout the entire trip. She made sure everyone in the group felt included and was constantly checking whether we had eaten enough breakfast and lunch, and whether everyone was feeling comfortable and okay. Because of the high altitude, there is always a chance of nausea or dizziness, and she was very attentive about this. She kept checking on everyone regularly, asking how we were feeling, and making sure no one was struggling or left behind. That level of care really stood out. Her attitude and energy were outstanding — she genuinely cared about each person’s well-being. She is like a walking encyclopedia, effortlessly sharing facts and stories about the places, history, and landscapes that go back to times long before us. On top of that, she is very funny, which made the journey even more enjoyable. enjoyed every bit of this trip. It was well-organized, informative, and memorable. Highly recommended.

Sensational experience! - The walk was amazing. The guide Tereza and the driver Serginho were super attentive, gentle and high astral. The company kept in touch with us all the time and the van picked us up at the hotel at the agreed time. The breakfast and lunch included in the tour were great. Super recommend Pukarumi and its guides/drivers.

A beauty the highlands, vicuñas, flamingos , lagoons and salt flats. - Excellent experience, guide and very nice and entertaining drivers, concerned about all people, good breakfast lunch and pecks. The weather was warm, even in the mornings and on the return the wind or breeze helped to achieve the walks. Use windbreakers more than parkas. Watch out for the height over 4 thousand meters. Adults and youth take precautions, local herbal Ahuas or oxygen in small disposable format to combat dizziness (puna).

Thin air adventure - Very positive experience. Everything was run smoothly from pick up, breakfast, the allotted time at the sights and an incredibly good lunch. Branden was our guide and did a great job of explaining every step of the trip. I would recommend this outfitter without hesitation. Fantastic day.

If you want to be amazed with landscapes and learn. - Excellent agency! punctual, with excellent vehicles and very good guides. We did the tour of Red Stones, High Plains and Chaxa. Our guides Felipe and Patricio make it very worthwhile: They explain to you, they are attentive to each member of the tour, generate a good atmosphere, have a good pace between each stop and are willing to answer any concerns that arise. The breakfast was great. It was one of the best tours we attended. Super recommend!

Improvement needed - Poor pre-trip interaction. Not clear what time to be at pick up point. They could have done a better job to be sure.

The guide was not enthusiastic - The guide was not enthusiastic. He did not allow us to get close to the lakes, except the red rock lake, citing environmental protection, while other groups were allowed to walk to the side of the lakes. There are marked trails. This tour is not as interesting as the Moon Valley tour. You could save a lot of money by booking in town and pay cash.
