One of the most interesting places I have been to. Our guide and driver were excellent. We learned so much about the area history and environment from our guide, Andres. He provided many good recommendations on which museums, restaurants, and other places to visit as options on the tour. We were very pleased with his recommendations and help. If I did the tour again, I might splurge on the pricier hotel room package. The basic package was a really good hotel though, very clean and good breakfast but directly across from hostels and lacking amenities like a full restaurant, lounge, etc. However, there is a chinese restaurant across the street that was delicious.Show more
