Surprising Tour - The tour was recommended by a friend, we did not have any expectations, the group was small but still the guide surprised us with his knowledge and mastery of the place, in the end we ended up knowing all lime, we ate in a delicious place recommended by the guide and learned to recognize an original pisco and baby alpaca, which was very useful, highly recommended.
