Breathtaking Views and an Exceptional Guide - This was one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Bolivia! The hike itself is breathtaking, with spectacular scenery and unforgettable views from El Codo de los Andes. The real highlight, however, was our guide, Nicola. His exceptional knowledge of the local wildlife, flora, the region’s history, and its natural environment made the experience so much more than just a hike. He shared fascinating stories throughout the day, answered every question with enthusiasm, and pointed out so many things we would have completely missed on our own. His passion for nature and the region was truly inspiring. We felt well looked after from start to finish, and Nicola’s friendly personality made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Samaipata. If you’re lucky enough to have Nicola as your guide, you’re in for an unforgettable experience. Thank you for an amazing day! Absolutely great guide Nicola!

Particularly beautiful part of Bolivia! - A beautiful hike through the Codo de los Andes. The view at the top is amazing. Nicola is a passionate, friendly and relaxed guide. We saw condors down the road and took the time to take a closer look. Everything is well organized (pickup and drop off) and would definitely recommend it!

Absolutely amazing hike with gorgeous views! - This hike was my first in the Andes and it was absolutely stunning. The guide, Nicola, knew a lot about the place, was very kind and spoke great English. The tour started with a hike up the mountain and I got lucky: an Andean Condor flew right above our heads on one of the lookout points. The hike on top of the mountain is breathtaking. I would recommend the shorter tour for people who are used to hiking but don't want to commit to 8 hours. It is not an easy hike, but with somewhat decent fitness very doable. It often can be difficult to find a tour that is bookable for one person. So I was very happy when I found this tour! The communication with the tour agency was also super easy and great.
