Everything fine except that the transport was somewhat awkward for the ride. They took us to a pisco cellar that didn't come on the itinerary.

Tour Cañón de los Perdidos

LuisIsaac_R, Mar 2023

El guía y el tour estuvieron bien, lo que si se deben tomar enserio es el tema del transporte, el vehículo no se encontraba en el mejor de los estados para ir a una zona tan remota, ya que el camino es complicado y no hay señal de celular

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Buenos días Luis, muchas gracias por su confianza. Agradecemos su sinceridad, tomaremos en serio la recomendación, esperemos comprenda que todos los días salimos al cañón y el camino es un poco accidentado pero no imposible, a la vez es entendible que nuestros vehículos sufran desgaste, pero siempre renovamos accesorios para un mejor rendimiento. Esperemos que sigan teniendo un excelente tour por Perú. Saludos cordiales, Sam =)
