¡Unforgetable experience! - We went to salt mine, moray and a rescue center of endemic animals (we could see llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, guanacos, baby condor). Our tour guide was impressive, friendly and a great knowledge about the ande's culture. Thank you Cusco Travel & treks for this unique experience in Perú.
