“Not only Salar but much more. - A WONDER. We chose this tour by looking at the reviews, what about spot on and highly recommended. The comfortable and safe means then with Guide Eduardo really a reliable conductor since in three days you can see beautiful things but it also makes so much dirt. We for the three days since we had a 12-year-old daughter we opted for single room with bathroom for two nights for three people (total cost in addition 600 Bolivians) but it is balada worth it if you want to rest and have that little extra comfort. Eating by local standards very good and balanced is also provided menu for vegetarians. Three unforgettable days with the Guide of serious and reliable people .. I highly Recommendation.” - Reviewed at 2024-08-28
