Summary:
This guide accompanied me during my trip to the Colca Valley and was like traveling with a friend who already knows the way. From the beginning I liked her tone: nothing heavy or academic, but rather close, with simple explanations and even a touch of humor that makes her pleasant to read even before traveling.

Summary:
Everything is very beautiful and well explained. We went to several spots and there are lots of fun activities to do. There are also adventure activities and hot springs on part of the tour.
The only bad thing was the van, there wasn't enough space between the seats and one was very tight and uncomfortable, my back and legs hurt at the end.
