We loved this tour, Fabio was so full of energy and knowledge and was very funny too. We did the add-on side trip to the 14 Hornocal 14 colour mountains which was a real highlight though an additional cost. Llama lunch with potatoes cooked by Fabio was good. I took a crazy number of photos. It was a long day (12 hours) but we didn't get bored.
