“We did 3 trips, so it was a lot of time in the van. The second two were in the same direction so there was some repetition, which we knew. We didn't realise however that there was an optional tour to the 14 colour hill as noone from the agency had mentioned it, despite us going in every day. This was a little disappointing. All the guides were good, but we loved Monica”

“The tour was really great! The guide explained everything about the region, how to deal with the altitude and was very knowledgeable. I definitely enjoyed the tour. I took one star off because I almost didn’t make it. The tour was late by more than half an hour, nobody answered the phone, so I was on my way home when they showed up and texted me. Please next time communicate better the delays. I didn’t mind waiting, but I definitely felt suspicious when nobody was picking up the phone.”

“The first day was great because of the places we visited, the guide and the organization, but the second day did not meet our expectations. We were left to explore the Pucará archaeological site alone without explanations inside and we did not have time to visit Tilcara. In Huamahuaca we could not visit the church and we stopped for a moment just to photograph the painter's palette. I would only do the first day. The second is not worth it. And thank goodness we stayed overnight in Purmamarca on our own, because going back 3 hours to Salta to sleep to undo the 157 kms the next day makes no…”
