Very good tour - Very nice tour, thanks to Leonardo our guide who was giving us information at each stop and was very kind also to take pictures of us. It was one of my favorite tours, I would only recommend doing it after Valle de la Luna since the final viewpoint is similar on both tours.

This is the perfect tour... - This is the perfect tour if you want to leave with wonderful pictures. The stunning valley, the photogenic bus, the stop at the salt mine and the delicious dinner against the backdrop of the setting sun all contributed to an unforgettable experience. Javier was a very passionate, sympathetic and committed guide. Would definitely recommend!

Highly recommend with tourguide George - We did a tour with Pukarumi and had an absolutely fantastic experience. George was an excellent tour guide — we couldn’t have asked for better. He was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. He shared so many interesting insights and made the whole experience both engaging and enjoyable. We were extremely satisfied and felt very well taken care of throughout the entire tour. We can highly recommend this tour — especially because of George. He truly made the difference. Muchas gracias

Nice tour with great guide - Well organized tour where you visit a lot of nice places. The best part was our guide Andres who told us a lot of exciting information about the stops. Andres and the driver Enzo then set up a fantastic table with snacks and Pisco Sour/juice. The sunset was a great ending to a fantastic day!
