Do it! - Great tour - highly recommend you do it even if you are only in Purmamarca for a little while. The guide was very knowledgeable and the llamas were beautiful and well cared for. My guide even taught me how to make mate as we sat in the shade, and it was a really special experience. Thank you so much!

Excellent - Excellent guide. Fabricio is super handsome, charismatic, and knowledgeable about Jujuy. He answered all my questions delightedly (and that was many). Without a doubt it is an excellent company and guide to spend the day excursion.

Departure to Yala and Angosto del Jaire - We made an exit to the Jair Narrow and, Yala Lagoons. Fabricio offers you a very rich experience and attentive to all the details. I hope I can go back and do the night trek. I'm looking forward to it. Highly recommended. If you go to Purmamarca do not hesitate to hire him.

Tumbaya Gorge Tour Top individual tour in search of the smallest cactus species in the world - We went on a tour with Fabricio Suruguay to a location of Blossfeldia lilliputana (smallest cactus species in the world) (to one of the many quebradas in Jujuy/Tumbaya). He put a lot of effort into the preparation, went back to the site the day before, as this species is not easy to find. The tour was very individually tailored to us. Since I already have a lot of experience in spotting plants and also have appropriate scientific education, I was also able to search for and ultimately find the target plants myself. In addition to many other cactus genera (Gymnocalycium, Leucostele, Parodia, Rebutia, Cleistocactus, Opuntia,...) one could also spot various species of Tillandsia and much more. If you take more time, you will surely find more. All in all highly recommended. It is best to plan your tour individually, according to the respective target plants and communicate this clearly with the guide in advance. He then informs himself about the respective locations, guides visitors there, so that nothing stands in the way of fun.

An unforgettable experience - You get to see landscapes you never saw and never imagined. The difficulty is medium and you are doing well if you follow the advice of Fabricio. It also knows a lot and we learned a lot about geology, culture, history and much more that makes the experience enriching. Highly recommended

Interesting & beautiful terrain / experience : views, history and more - My wife and I enjoyed our hike with this outfit. Our guide was patient and knowledgeable and spoke English well. The views are great, the terrain is beautiful and while the fauna and flora are minimal, what you do see is interesting and starkly beautiful. I recommend that you accept the offer of ski-pole like walking sticks. (Even if you've never bothered with them before). Most of the paths are made up of small and med. sized rocks and at times you are walking on a sort of 'knife's edge' with a precipitous plunge on one side or the other (and sometimes both) so those walking poles will reduce the give you some confidence or at least reduce the stress of those hiking with you.
