It was amazing, and well worth the price. If you’re traveling and want to see some great sights with little to no hiking , this is the trip for you. We had a small group I was the only one really in need of an English speaking tour and he took plenty of time to make sure I got the full experience. There was a free breakfast of coffee, tea, bread, and juice. I bought the ticket which included lunch and entrance to colca canyon park I saved more money that way. All the guests were super friendly too, I can speak some Spanish but definitely not enough. I highly recommend it. I believe my guide was Juan and Edwin was our driver and he did an excellent job.

Escursione molto impegnativa, con partenza alle 3 del mattino e ritorno in tarda serata. Viaggio in pullman di almeno 6 ore. I paesaggi sono splendidi ma purtroppo la sosta al Mirador dei Condor è durata solo 40 minuti. Bisognerebbe evitare qualche altra fermata e concedere più tempo alla sosta principale. La guida era comunque molto in gamba, con chiare ed esaustive spiegazioni sia in Spagnolo che in Inglese. Pranzo a buffet abbastanza buono.

Journée fatiguante mais incontournable si vous vous aventurez à Arequipa. Par contre, nous vous déconseillons fortement la réservation via GetYourGuide, le prix payé ayant été le triple d'autres prix pratiqués pour la même activité. Je peux comprendre un différentiel de 10 à 15%, mais 200% plus cher, ça n'est pas acceptable !
