5.00I went with my husband, sister and brother in law. We had a very good time. Mario is awesome, kind, helpful and take good pictures. Pillones waterfall was a great experience but not for ppl who isn’t in good shape. We had great pictures in Bosque de Piedra. Food was ok, could be better. Transportation is comfy. Overall a highly recommended tour.
Excellent knowledge of tourist attraction

5.00Our day started with mostly clear blue skys which offered great views of the surrounding mountains including the famous volcano Misty. Our guide Mario had a wealth of information about the sights we visited, including the "ghost town", the rock forest, and the beautiful water falls. Mario's English was near perfect and his knowlege was appreciated. The breakfast and lunch were decent and we saw lots of llamas, alpacas and the sometimes elusive vicuñas. I would definitely recommend this company for great tours in the Arequipa area.
Great day! Awesome tour.

5.00We had a great time on this tour. From the first stop at the town of Pampa de Arrieros to the main attractions of the Bosque de Piedras de Puruña and Cataratas de Pillone. Mario was an excellent guide who was able to explain everything in both Spanish and English. Our driver (sorry I can't remember his name) was also excellent and obviously very experienced. The breakfast and lunch at Patahuasi was the best we've had during our time in Peru.
