Fantastic full day trip
Fantastic full day experience. Felipe the guide was really knowledgeable at every sight. The places we visited were breathtaking, the food was excellent - both the breakfast and the restaurant lunch.
The whole day was really enjoyable. Would really recommend it.

Loved it!
Best trip! This was easily the best excursion we did on our trip. It’s a long day but so worth it. The locations are so cool and the food was delicious. Our tour guide, Daniel, was fabulous! He was funny and knowledgeable. 10/10 we would recommend! Count yourself lucky if you get Daniel.

Manuel was excellent - Viator, not
Manuel was great. His English was very good, he was on time and gave us great details on long the way. I would recommend thus tour just book it through another agency then viator. Though we booked viator they are claiming it was an affiliate and denied rewards. I’ll never book viator again.

It was okey trip to Piedras Rojas. It takes a while to get there. On the way there you visit other places. If you are short on time maybe choose a different location for a trip.

Nice excursion
Nice excursion with a very nice and funny guide!
The visit of the city after lunch is not the most interesting but it is quick.

A wonderful day!!
The tour was amazing. Javier was so knowledgeable about the geography and he was so interesting to listen to!! The day was so much fun! The scenery is breathtaking! The “camp-style” breakfast was delicious and I enjoyed that experience more than sitting in a restaurant for lunch (even though that was delicious as well). Overall I had such a great day! Andres the assistant was so helpful as well and so kind! Thank you so much!!!!

Easy going and Scenic
We did a few excursions in this area and this one was relaxed - good for active older folks as well. Enjoyed a light breakfast in the valley with the colourful sunrise. Saw several beautiful lagoons with mountain scenery. Saw salt flats with flamingos. Saw animals during the rush trips. Visited a small town for lunch.
The absolute highlight was Daniel, our driver and guide who has been at this profession for 25 years. Fantastic attitude, fluent in English and Spanish. HILARIOUS sense of humour. He was keen on keeping us ahead of all the other tour buses so we had a lot of privacy and less crowds. He alone is worth this experience.

A full day
Be ready by 6am and prepare for a full day of fun! Breakfast and lunch included. Only one of the places requires a walk of less than 2 km total. It isn't much, just be aware than is in high altitude so the walk back is a little bit more difficult than a normal walk because it has a subtle inclination and every breath counts at 4.000 meters.
All stops are worth it!!
First you go to a very small town and enjoy breakfast
Second place we visited the flamingos and it was good to be one of the first groups to arrive because flamingos were nearby and don't like noises.
After we went to piedras Rojas, beautiful place. Then the lakes also beautiful with the mountains behind.
Lunch and finally Capricorn tropic sign.
