Happy experience to the mountain excursion
What they promised for this tour was fulfilled, the tour was completed. The guide very attentive, professional, respectful, with a very pleasant character, with a lot of knowledge and masters all the information. Mary (Mariel), a Chinese guerita, was a 100% guide. The natural places we enjoyed very much, we were picked up at our hotel and returned to the same place. The driver handled well and very prudently. One recommendation would be that at the beginning of the tour there be some integration activity with all travelers, to get to know each other and create a more pleasant atmosphere. But ultimately I do recommend the tour.
Not worth the time
This tour was advertised with an English speaking guide and a maximum of 10 people. The guide provided little English and most of the English was logistics such as how much time we had at a stop. In addition they said there was a maximum of 10 people and there was close to double the number on the bus.
Beautiful scenery but missed prior information
I had already read that this is a long ride, and in our case it lasted just over 12 hours. The places visited have beautiful landscapes, such as the Portrerillos dam, the stop to play in the snow on a mountain in the Andes, and the Puente Del Inca. The Guide who accompanied us, Abigail, interacts with the group all the time explaining the history of the places we are going through. However, the first stop at the support point of Uspallata is quite simple and it was not explained to us if we really need to rent snow clothes, which we ended up not renting and we regretted because the snow was very sweet and could not explore the place with normal clothes. Later, we stopped in a village for lunch, worth 15,000 pesos per person, but the food was not good, with an aspect that we did not like and we did not have another meal option indicated, and we had to satisfy ourselves with a food that was not worth the amount paid. At Puente Del Inca, despite a beautiful landscape for photos, it was crowded, there was no bathroom on site. After all, the tour as I said is worth the scenery, but if you expect something more comfortable, it may not be the best tour to do
