4.00Everything fine except that the transport was somewhat awkward for the ride. They took us to a pisco cellar that didn't come on the itinerary.
To do!

5.00The experience was spectacular and very fun as the guide was always very kind to us AND very didactic at the time of explaining the whole Tour there were spectacular views and very incredible crossings.
The guide in the canyon was the best!!

5.00We visited the canyon with my girlfriend and we were really surprised by the large number of fossils and remains on the seabed. They are really worth the 02 hour trip, it is hot but it is pleasant. Sam and his entire team were very attentive at all times.
Excellent view in the canyon

5.00The service was excellent, the canyon has a wonderful view, wonderful place to visit with friends, Sam was very attentive at all times, I recommend wearing sunblock, sunglasses and slippers that do not slip.
Sam Travel and colleagues to flee, or make sure to specify the type of vehicle for very very bumpy tracks

2.00We were 4 , and we chose Sam Travel for its very positive reviews. This trip has been treated. The vehicles were full cattle farms. Impossible to rest his back on the row of 4 at the back because not enough space. everything started in ruins: window that does not close (dust in the face or on yourself) , the interior facings are unstuck, very important engine noises and rattling (we put the music to full to mask) , suspension non-existent, impossible to hear the guide (noise and no microphone) ....etc. Vehicles to make a 1/2 hour trip on paved road but no 4 hours of tracks or almost . . It was a real ordeal for a very small canyon. It was our 5th excursion and the only bad one. We had booked well in advance, it was possible to organize and notify us. Treating the tourist like this is scandalous.
