Don't expect a luxury trip - know that you are going to the desert and the drive there is long - but the overall trip is totally worth it! The two deserts you see and get to explore are unreal and will take your breath away. The guide and driver provided to us for the entirety of the trip were professional, caring, and attentive. Great experience!

Mooie wandelingen gemaakt door de Tatacoa woestijn. Wat hoogteverschillen maar niet zwaar, prima te doen Officieel geen woestijn omdat er net iets te veel water valt. El Cuzco: rood spectaculaire landschap met hoge cactussen en bijzondere rotsformaties en fossiele resten. Los Hoyos (grijze woestijn) vonden wij minder interessant.
