First you drive all the... - First you drive all the way up to the mountain. With us it was very foggy, so we didn’t really know what to expect. But on the top of the mountain we got out of the car and from there we walked 90% downhill were the car was waiting. My father had some troubles with the hike, but our guide was very patient and very helpfull. They also have some medical stuff with them. After the hike we went to a place to have a delicious lunch, made by their own, and after the lunch we went to the place with the dinousaurs footprints. Overall a great experience!!

Inca Trail and Maragua Crater - We really enjoyed the Inca Trail Trek and tour of Maragua Crater. David and Carlos are excellent hosts and guides, punctual, informative and attentive. The tour was exactly as described, the scenery gorgeous and all of the places very beautiful and interesting. This tour is highly recomendable!

Great way to see beautiful Bolivian countryside - I really enjoyed the mix of activities on this one day tour - the hike along a prehispanic road through impressive mountain scenery, the colours and remote community of Maragua crater, and the amazing dinosaur footprints. I felt in safe hands with Henry the guide, who kept his eye out for me while trekking on the steep trails, and also explained each place we visited. The driver was very good too.

Cordillera de los frailes - Wonderful day in the mountains with David and the guide, both great. Walked on the way to the Inca then detoured by dinosaur prints.

Awesome tour - It was a great experience in every aspect. Dinelsa is an amazing guide and together with Juan Carlos we got to have a flavour or the most authentic Bolivia. We truly recommend it!!

Awesome sites with a lot of walking! - We had a fun day overall but it was hard work! The pick up was on time and the driver was very professional getting us to the first stop. Although some reviewers say it’s mostly downhill, there are some places where there is an incline. This was a tiring trek, but definitely worth it in the end! The rest of the day we saw so many amazing sites. lunch was at a local hostal and it was delicious- many local products to try. The dinosaur tracks were another hike, down then up, but worth seeing! It’s amazing to think how long they’ve been there! I recommend doing this tour but if you are even a little out of shape, you might need to take things slowly!

A tour that does not describe the details correctly - 1. Inca trail is seriously down hill. Maybe drop 500m in 4km. 2. Trail has been eroded. 30m section is now on dirt/crumbly small rocks, and is 200m drop if footing not secure. No warning of this in tour info or by guide. Another section had same problem, and has been reconstructed safely. 3. Lunch is a packed lunch picnic, probably prepared by guide. Very local Bolivian, thus cheap and not appropriate for 100 dollar tour. 4. At least 5 hours spent in 4x4, mostly on dirt roads, 1st gear. 5. Fabulous scenery and remoteness.

Tour - Very nice, we had a super nice guide. Towards the end of the tour you will go back up the mountain by car. This was huge style with a huge abyss next to you. If you're afraid of heights, this isn't super. Especially because the driver was really driving against the edge of the abyss and we had to stop on the way because a car had run off the road and fallen down. Luckily the passengers came out miraculously unharmed but this made the last part even scarier. Furthermore, the tour was really very fun.

Interesting tour and great scenery - We had an interesting day out, with excellent scenery. The guide was professional, and the driver was good and drove safely. We were taken to some places which felt very off the beaten track, including to visit a weaver, and the lunch was great. It is quite a long day (left at 0830, back at 1815) with a lot of driving between the sights. The price is much higher than what we have paid for other tours in Bolivia, but the group size was small (4).
