Nice tour to Humberstone

It was a nice and good guided tour in English/Spanish. The other stations in the afternoon program could probably be shortened a little. The visit of Humberstone and St. Laura was very impressive. We also liked the included lunch.
This time we skipped the salt pans...

We went straight to La Tirana, your church is beautiful, with a unique starry blue sky, call to prayer. Then we continued to Pica, we arrived to lunch at Qori Inti because we had read that the llama stew was good, it did not disappoint us, flavorful and soft, the original and delicious salads, very abundant dishes, perhaps too much. Last stop La Cocha, very nice, warm water, all clean and tidy. Fully recommended, everything.
An interesting trip in the desert
