Excellent guide & terrible transportation. - We have booked this trip for 4 people on April 24, 2024. I can't say good enough about our tour guide. His family was partially from Cabanaconde. He shared such a good stories about the history of the region and was extremely friendly. We were lucky to see 13 condors at the view point and we are very thankful to him. At the same time the transportation experience wasn't that great. The car was unacceptably small for total of 5 people including the driver for such a long trip. The road to Colca Canyon has a lot of heavy trucks traffic and they are moving with such a low sped (15-20km/h). The car didn't have enough power to pass them by and we were behind them forever. The A/C also didn't work. I give 5 stars for the tour guide and 1 star for the transportation part. P.S. FYI driver being late at pick up with 40min is considered a norm! Booking ref BR-1077635559
