Inolvidable - The views were spectacular, we saw snow-covered Piedras Rojas, something that hasn't happened at this time of year for years. We loved it, even more so with the good company of our guide, Álvaro.

Brilliant day in the mountains! - Had an amazing time with Diego! We started with an excellent (all vegetarian) breakfast overlooking a beautiful green valley in Tocanao and then continue to Chaxa lagoon where we saw flamingoes. The antiplanic lakes and Piedra Roja were absolutely magical.
Diego was an excellent driver and guide who kept us entertained and informed at all times. Strongly recommended!!!

Truly enjoyable - It was an enjoyable day. The breakfast and lunch were tasty. It was a good balance between driving and stops. My only comment to future travelers is that Piedras Rojas gets really windy. Bring layers, including for the head. I don't think our group was fully aware of this.

Experience 100 points with Alberto - Very good experience, highly recommended, everything very tidy, indicated the time it would take to transfer between each stop, how much we had to delay at each stop, the guides were very nice, always at the attention of all tourists to help with photos or any doubts, the explanations in English and Spanish very fluent and combined to be equitable with those present.
