That's exactly how I would describe this company. Hornocal gave us 15-20 minutes to visit the peak with 14 flowers, not counting the lines for photos. That was barely enough time to take photos. Instead, they repeatedly persuade you, over and over again, to go to a strange market where they sell all sorts of rags as souvenirs. It's sad.
We hired an agency that referred us to take the Humahuaca tour with Hornocal through this agency. Honestly, we had a fantastic time! In the morning, they picked us up on time and offered us coffee while we waited to depart. Our driver was Charly and the guide was Maria. We had a really great time, we explored everything, and we were lucky to follow the itinerary and see everything planned. The time was sufficient to visit, eat, shop, and take photos. All the recommendations were helpful, they assisted us with the altitude and everything!! Geniuses! Additionally, guide Maria shared super interesting facts along the way and was always friendly and open to questions. Charly drives very well! We hardly felt the curves of the road and the altitude, which is staggering for someone from Córdoba! We recommend them!! Thank you for making us have a dream day. We will return, and without a doubt, next time we will hire directly with Parada Norte!
Excellent service, vehicle, driver, and the guide Martín is a total phenomenon!
The charango Cesar is a star and his driver is too
We had a great time thanks to Belén and Exequiel for being attentive to the group all the time; the warmth and support at all times is greatly appreciated, especially because of the altitude that we did not know how it would affect us. A thousand thanks for the advice; the excursion was impressive!!!
Excellent experience. María, the guide, was always very attentive and very well-disposed. Daniel, the driver, was spectacular, 10 out of 10. Thank you very much!!!

This is the second time I travel with the company, specifically with Guide María and driver Fernando.
