Absolutely amazing day! Julio was so kind and accommodating. He allowed us to adjust our start time and pick up location. He’s very knowledgeable, responsive and gave us a lot of information about the history, culture and area. He answered all our questions and is an excellent photographer. The lunch his wife prepared was delicious and nutritious. It’s helpful to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, layers (jacket/coat, sweater, scarf), and wear boots or old sneakers as some areas are muddy. Also you may not have access to an indoor bathroom.
Amazing!

This was such a wonderful experience! Julio is a wealth of knowledge, we learned so much about the landscape and history of Arequipa. My son had a little trouble with the altitude and Julio was quick with remedies and advise to get him feeling better. We walked away loving the day and talking about how amazing it was!

This is definitely the stand out experience of our five day visit to Arequipa. Julio is not only a great guide, but also an informed historian as to Peruvian history, the cultural expressions and overall the biology flora, fauna and geographic history of Laguna Salinas
