Great Guide, stick to the core things to see.

Great guide, small bus, pretty basic food. You can pass on the boat ride - nothing to see. They brought us to a “llama farm” tourist trap, but the baked goods there were lovely. The climb up the rock and the town were worth the trip and what we went for. Basically the add ons beyond that were meh.
