Everything was excellent, including the lunch break. Just one note, for those of us who were on our first tour, stopping as the first step at an altitude of 4900 m (Patapampa pass) did not make it easier to settle in. We recommend a short intermediate stop, even just 5 minutes.

Very good guide and experience. Be careful with the height, in certain parts we were at 4,910 meters above sea level. Something negative is that the driver drives poorly, overtaking in curves and driving in curves at high speed, which can cause an accident and even overturn.

The places were really beautiful too many hours trip but that’s nobody’s fault The guide was really involve and explained everything It’s a loooong day from 3am to 5pm but worth it Maybe I’ll like to see more about the canyon itself like the most deep point of it
