Very organized agency, with excellent value for money. - The tours with Pukarumi were excellent. We created a 6-day package at a fair price compared to other agencies we quoted. All tours had very friendly guides who were knowledgeable about the region and the history of the places. They also take really cool photos. The food served is tasty and plentiful. We were very pleased with the choice. A special compliment to the guides João, Giulia, Ximena, Javier and Francisco, as well as the drivers Gerardo, Luis, Rui and José, who were all very helpful.

Very good tour! - Fine Tour (half day) with a very knowledgeable Guide (Geologist). Fine views and the included “snack” was so, that I didn’t need a dinner later …

Fabulous...To do absolutely! - I did the visit with Adel for safe driving and Gabriel our exceptional guide! In a communicative mood with music in the background throughout the excursion, which adds rhythm during the walking moments and serenity during the moments of rest and explanations. In this regard, Gabriel is rich in teaching and very educational in his transmission. He makes sure that we enjoy the moment and takes us to fabulous panoramas for photo opportunities. Very good balance in his approach as a guide. Thank you very much for this unique experience.

Amazing salt and desert experience - We had an amazing experience in the desert with Francisco who lovely showed us how Rocks do noises and even music. He explained to us the geographic specials and let us climb on a bus. At the end of the trip we had a fantastic snack buffet while watching the sunset. Adele drove us all very safely. A great tour!!!
