Tour highly recommended 100% - We had a very pleasant experience on the tour to the National Reserve of Salinas and Aguada Blanca. From the beginning, everything was very well organized, and we enjoyed each stop of the tour immensely.
We want to especially highlight the guide Oswaldo, who made this experience even more special. He was very kind, attentive, and always willing to explain each place to us with patience and a good attitude. Additionally, he took beautiful group photos of us and gave us the necessary time to enjoy each landscape, explore the places calmly, and take our own photos without feeling rushed.
It is evident the commitment and dedication he has to the visitors, making the tour dynamic, comfortable, and memorable. Without a doubt, we recommend this experience for those who wish to know the natural beauty of Arequipa and enjoy a pleasant moment in a group. Thank you very much for everything!

An unforgettable experience at the salt flats of Arequipa! - What a great day! Our guide José José is incredibly warm and has a good sense of humour. He knew exactly how to make the group laugh while telling interesting stories about the surroundings. The salt flats themselves were impressive with beautiful flamingos. After the visit we had dinner with the whole group in a local picantería, where the food was delicious. The Mood in the group was also super cozy; it soon felt like we were out with friends. Inti Peru Travel is definitely recommended.

Good walk to the salt flat - Unfortunately I have to rate everything. But if I separate the guide Shirley would put 5/5: Friendly, caring, collaborative and especially super patient treatment with "thick" and "special" passengers. She was the second best of the tour, the best was the visit to the salt flat and the thermal baths (in both, I think it was a short time). The lunch was good and strong, the breakfast I think was against fabric (very little) and on top of that there was uncoordination between what we ordered and what we were served. To improve: more time in the salt and improve breakfast.
