    Nice tour! Super beautiful. The roads are pretty bumpy so be prepared if you are prone to carsickness. Also we had booked requesting an English guide but the guide ended up not speaking much English. He and the driver were very patient and kind with us but it would have been nice to be able to understand more of the tour!

    Visit: see description. Activity over 2 days with 10 people, which was perfect. Awesome guide, very interesting and interested. Buffet lunches at noon planned and well. I think that over 2 days is ideal, we didn't feel like we were running. The evening between the two, we went to a restaurant where there was a concert with traditional dances with our guide. We keep a very good memory of it. We also bathed in the thermal waters at Chivay. I recommend this activity!

    Really cool trip, bus was comfortable, very dedicated, good english speaking tour guide. A lot was explained and not only stopped at the tourist spots. Do not underestimate the difference in altitude between Arequipa (2500m) and the highest point on the way to Chivay (5000m). That's pretty intense. Be sure to book the hot springs. Absolute relaxation after the bus ride.
