    We hired a super budget package of 3 excursions through TripAdvisor with La Quebrada Turismo and everything went more than well. Among others we toured SALINAS GRANDES, PURMAMARCA, HUMAHUACA, CACHI... drivers Hernán and Víctor are a 10, in addition to driving, they told us about the history and every detail of the trip, you can see that they love what they do. If they hire, don't hesitate to ask for them. Highly recommended the agency.
