El mejor viaje de medio día al Lago Titicaca
El viaje fue excelente y superó todas nuestras expectativas. Nos encantó tanto la pequeña isla flotante Uros de Olga como la isla Taquile con el baile folklórico y el almuerzo en el restaurante familiar de Juan. El guía (Manuel) fue el mejor guía que tuvimos en Perú. Manu era extremadamente conocedor y un verdadero políglota (hablaba Portugués, Francés, Italiano, Quechua y Aymara) con gran pronunciación Inglés. El clima era perfecto, lo que también contribuyó a una experiencia maravillosa. Muy recomendable.
El mejor tour de la historia
Un gran tour. Las familias locales eran muy agradable y acogedor. La comida estaba deliciosa. La mejor gira que hemos hecho hasta ahora en Perú.
Tour interesante y valioso
Un recorrido muy bonito con grandes operadores y guías. Recogida suave del hotel y paseo en barco. Taquile era mejor que Uros Is, que estaban muy orientados al turismo.
Experiencia imprescindible si visitas Perú
Una experiencia maravillosa y totalmente recomendable. La atención por parte del guía, Jorge, estupenda, siempre atento y dando consejos. La acogida y la hospitalidad por parte de la familia en Amantaní, estupenda. Hay que agradecer a Jovita, nuestra “mami” en la isla, toda su atención y su cariño. Señalar que la subida al templo de Pachamama en Amantaní es algo dura, pero se puede hacer y vale la pena por la puesta de sol. La comida y la visita a Taquile también estupenda. Tenía miedo de que todo fuera un “espectáculo turístico”, pero nada más lejos de la realidad. En resumen: de las mejores experiencias de mi viaje a Perú.
Experiencia fantástica
Adaptamos nuestro tour Uros/Amantani/Taquile para que sea un tour privado para solo mi hija y yo para acomodar los horarios de vuelo.
Tuvimos un tiempo fantástico, añadiendo algunos extras como traslados al aeropuerto y montar a caballo en Amantani.
La señora de la reserva, el conductor, el capitán del barco, el propietario del alojamiento y nuestro guía Miguel, fueron todos profesionales que hicieron nuestro viaje suave, organizado, divertido e interesante. Todos fueron increíblemente útiles y fueron más allá. Recomendamos encarecidamente esta empresa a cualquiera.
