Customer reviews & ratings
The trip was educational, fun, and even an eye-opener like in Potosi mines. Small group, interesting itinerary, excellent guide.
Adrian Sep, 2024 VerifiedI enjoyed my trip because the destination and our guide was good. But overall, I didn?t feel like the itinerary was worth what I paid due to the lack of included activities and the accommodation at the salt flats. Given how far the $ goes in Bolivia, I feel like there should?ve been a lot more included activities in the itinerary. Our tour guide, Romelon Jose was excellent. But I would have to caution people about the accommodations and the lack of basic necessities at some of the accommodations in the salt flat area.
