Spectacular

Unforgettable landscapes A demanding tourism with alarm clocks at the wooden bell we are rewarded by panoramas of the beginning of the world .. even of March or the moon Breathtaking .. especially if we remember the altitude of more than 4000 meters! Exoticism of swimming in the brine of a high salar…. We are reassured the shower is planned "Latin" organization with program changes by email sent to spam while you sleep! Big mess for the pick up at the airport with an overexcited monoglot "(des) organizer" It is recommended to have solid notions of Spanish: globalization is struggling to break through in this region! Including in necessarily electronic banking transactions No manifestation of ostracism or xenophobia however: smile of rigor and desire to help Quite unpleasant to have to pay the entrance to the parks in addition to the excursion especially since it is advisable to do it online... Who skates dry!

It really is a different and wonderful experience. Although it takes effort and what it means to get up very early and ascend to 4200 meters directly, it is worth the effort. for those who have never been at altitude, it might be good to acclimatize beforehand. I recommend dressing up a lot.

The tour was fantastic. Getting up early is definitely worth it. The contrast between cold and heat is unique. With a guide like Chris, the tour is an absolute highlight. His knowledge and zest for life are simply unbeatable.

Amazing tours and organisation. Can only recommend: guides were well prepared, they came with food and cocktails, itineraries were very well organised.

Excellent experience, very friendly driver and guide a 7 Teresa.
