Unforgettable Trip!artstarovoyt
Jul 28, 2024, 12:52:43 PM We had an unforgettable experience with our guide Eugenia during our visit to the Tastil Ruins and Torro Lake. Her friendly demeanor and extensive knowledge of the area's history and wildlife truly enhanced our trip. Eugenia skillfully navigated the challenging terrain, ensuring our safety and comfort throughout the journey. Flamingo watching at Torro Lake was a highlight, thanks to her expert guidance. Highly recommended!
Fabulous flamingoes and morePádraig L
Our guide Javier was fantastic with a pretty encyclopaedic knowledge and happy to answer any questions. Wonderful views of flamingoes on the lagoons as well as many other species. The pre-Incan ruins in Tastil were a lovely diversion on the way out also. An absolutely wonderful day.
Did have some slight communication problems with tangol prior to the tour so recommend confirming everything a day or two in advance.
