10/10 experience - Had an amazing tour with Jeferson to Salina lake! The tour was built up nicely by visiting a town and an alpaca farm. Jeferson is enthousiastic, very knowledgeable about Peru and a great guide in general. 10/10 recommend.

Great day trip from Arequipa - Wonderful day tour at the Reserva National de Salinas! Jhoel was our guide and he was amazing to explain us everything that we have seen during the day and managing breakfast and lunch with the partner restaurant. Super recommended if you have one extra day in Arequipa and you want to see incredible peruvian landscapes!

Very nice experience! - We had a great day thanks to our great guide who introduced us to the area, Inka culture with a lot of detail and humor. The journey is a bit long and the heights are a bit hard to bear but again our guide knew how to advise us.

Excellent tour and guide - Stunning landscapes, we have seen vicuñas and flamingos in freedom. You also call at a local farm. Tour highly recommended, but especially the company of Jefferson, the guide, has been concerned to take the best photos and solve any doubts.

Excellent tour - The tour with Jefferson was excellent. He was responsible for giving us a lot of information about the places visited. He always cared about taking us to the less traveled places and took amazing pictures. It also led us to see flamingos in their natural habitat as well as alpacas and llamas in a unique place to interact with them. Fully recommended.

Salt pans, flamingos and altitude - Great experience since we could visit beautiful places.
We weren't ready at the altitude of 4,500 meters. Those who do not know how it can react would be good to prevent the night before with natural or not. The bus road is very bumpy since it is not paved, not for those suffering from cars. Perfect organization
