Lovely day at the lake

Andrew_E, Apr 2024

The guide Jack was great and the lake was perfect for contemplating the flamingos and the view to the mountains

We had a really great time! We were one of the first people at the Lagunas and could experience this beautiful place all to ourselves.

A great experience for the price

Luis_F, Mar 2024

The tour guide is spectacular, innovative with the way they take the experience to another level, you can count that you will have a great time. He also speaks English and tries to explain everything so you get a good understanding of what’s happening. I wasn’t expecting to see anything else besides the Salinas place, they took a us to a few different places and it was good. It was worth every single penny. Congrats to the team for the great work they do. Would recommend 10/10

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Dissapointed

London_L, Mar 2024

I was disappointed by this tour as the only reason I booked was to take pictures on the lake as shown in the picture with my reflection. Once arriving there, was told that it wasn't possible as it was too windy that day. So basically rode almost 2hrs up a mountain that was very unsettling due to the terrain and steep drops for nothing. I DID enjoy the beautiful views of the Volcanoes but other than that, this was a waste of time.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hola gracias por sus comentarios lamentamos que el clima no haya sido favorable ese día, sin embargo es un aspecto que se aleja de nuestras manos y sobre todo hemos informado a tiempo de ello y sin embargo usted decidió continuar con el viaje. Saludos cordiales Luis

Great experience

Beatriz_M, Apr 2023

We had a great day visiting the Laguna de Salinas and the Aguada Blanca National Reserve. Absolutely stunning views and we even got to see some wild animals such as flamingos and vicunas. Our tour guide Fanny was excellent!

Response from Host, May 2023

Good afternoon. Thank you very much for your good comment, we appreciate the trust in us, we hope you can trust us for future excursions. Kind regards Luis

Beauty all for yourself!

Anne_B, Apr 2023

I absolutely loved this trip! The scenery is just breathtaking. Like another planet. And there were almost no tourists. The bus ride in itself is beautiful, and the end destination is also really magical. Jefferson our guide is very sweet. His English could be better, but it worked for the purpose. Remember to bring lunch/water/snacks!

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you very much for the good opinion of the attractiveness and our attention. We wish you success in your next adventures. Kind regards Luis +51919656316

Décor magique !

Remi_R, Nov 2023

Le lac des Salinas et les sources d'eaux chaudes avec ses lamas en liberté sont un décor tellement sublime qu'il est difficile de le décrire ! Cette immensité au milieu des volcans et montagnes laisse sans voix ! Attention cependant, il faut prévoir de la monnaie car vous avez une halte petit déjeuner qui n est pas prévue après le mirador (7 soles) et vous devez payer 5 soles pour le site d'eaux chaudes. N'oubliez pas aussi de prévenir que vous ne parlez pas forcement espagnol car nous avions réservé pour une excursion en anglais et tout était en espagnol. Sinon à part ça c est super ! Le chauffeur fait au mieux pour que la route soit la moins secouée possible et le guide est sympa 😉

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires, nous serons heureux d'apporter les améliorations correspondantes.

Ótimo

Fernando_C, Jul 2023

Excelente guia Jennifer nos tuvo una gran paciencia. Pero no es la época para ver los reflejos, pues no había agua.
