Baltingache - The pickup was very punctual. The guide, Georges, was funny and interesting: he provides a lot of information about the region and the place visited. The floating experience is worth it (even if the water is very cold!)

Highly recommend this agency! - This was my second tour with this agency, and once again everything was excellent. The organization was great, the food was delicious, and I really appreciated the small details, like the bathrobes provided after swimming during the lagoons tour.

Refreshing Baltinache! - An exciting tour! The location is impressive, the water a bit freezing but you get used to it in minutes. The guide with vast experience and extensive knowledge of the place. The little cocktail details are always welcome. Very punctual and the constant communication with the clients is appreciated. We also appreciate the professional drivers and the excellent condition of the vehicles, very important to feel safe during the entire tour. Thank you Pukarumi! 100/10

Nice walk - The tour was spectacular, we made a first stop for breakfast in the middle of the desert with a beautiful view of volcanoes and mountains. Our guide Brandon was 10/10 gave great explanations and was very communicative

Amazing experience - The guide used a WhatsApp chat to coordinate where they were when picking us up which made things easy. The guide was very informative and one thing you will notice from this tour company is they avoid the crowds by going in the opposite direction of them making our experience more enjoyable. The walk around the lagoons was incredible and we learned a lot then we made our way to the swimming lagoon and our guide was more than happy to take all the photos you need. Was amazing floating in the cold water and seeing nothing but desert and mountains. They had a nice spread of food for us when we got out and robes to keep us warm. Highly recommend.

The agency is professional and the guide was very good. - The experience was positive mainly thanks to the organization and the guide, Anita. Anita was very good at keeping the group together and attending to the needs of all the participants, who were of different ages. She gave us clear and honest explanations about the place. I really appreciated it. If you need a guided tour, ask for Anita; I highly recommend her. What I did not like was the place, which no longer looks like the photos on the internet. A swimming lagoon was closed because it was contaminated by the people who were swimming, and now the water is brown. There is a small lagoon where you can swim, but it is also brown. I think the Cejar Lagoon is much better for swimming.
