We had the most wonderful day Seth the most amazing guide! Cristobal provided us with a full day of interesting and beautiful things to do, starting off with an al frescoe in the shadows of the Andes. He clearly enjoyed sharing his knowledge of the area with us and was very friendly. The scenery is other worldly and the flamingos are just a miracle. Our day ended with a lovely late lunch and kudos to my fellow travelers. What a memorable day.
Wonderful. We also take the Rainbow, Astronomical and Horseback Riding tour All with my 10-year-old daughter. An unforgettable experience and Molantur very reliable, any difficulties solve and be attentive.
Excellent experience with Molantur, grateful Perci who was always in touch delivering information and pending every detail. Also thank the guides in charge of the tours for their concern, attention and knowledge delivered and their pleasant conversations full of experience, respect for the environment and environmental education. Thank you very much, if I go again I will contact you..... success
Very good experience with this tour operator. We want to highlight especially Perci, who was our contact throughout the trip. He took care of organizing all the schedules so that we could take each tour without hassles and always responded quickly and efficiently, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Of the tours we do, we want to highlight especially those we did with Mirko and Rafael. It was clear that they were very trained guides, had studied the destinations and delivered valuable and interesting information about each place we visited, which made a big difference to the experience. In terms of prices, we do not think it is the most economical option, but it is also not excessively expensive. In the village you can find a little cheaper alternatives, maybe around 30 euros less, but the difference is not significant considering the organization, service and quality of the guides
Nice experience. I highlight the attention of Perci, excellent !! before and during the tours and a patience to the fullest test!!!! You can see the professionalism and attention to detail. Thank you all so much for making my trip unforgettable. Super recommended !!!
This was one of the best tours I have ever experienced. Mirko was engaging, knowledgeable, caring, and highly responsive throughout the tour. His explanations were clear, informative, and added meaningful context that significantly enhanced the experience. It was evident that he genuinely cared about the group and was committed to delivering a high-quality tour. Questions were welcomed and answered thoroughly, the group was well managed, and the pacing was excellent. The tour was well organized and enjoyable from start to finish. A great guide makes all the difference, and Mirko absolutely did. I would enthusiastically recommend this tour to anyone looking for a professional, enriching experience.

Excellent experience, recommended, and very good attention from Perci regarding the advice of the tours, we made Geiser, Valley of the Moon, Astronomical Tour, Highlands Lagoons and Baltinache
Alexander is a GREAT guide and he made the day perfect. He’s super friendly, multi-lingual, and passionate about the work he does. I’m usually a very independent traveler, but I am traveling solo so I wanted an organized tour vs. renting a car and setting out on my own. It was a good idea. I learned a lot, and got around w/o the stress and confusion of figuring it all out along the way. Be prepared! The Piedras Rojas hike is COLD and WINDY. I am not kidding. At 4,000m even a clear, warm day can feel like zero degrees. Bring layers, especially a good wind-breaker jacket, a cap and gloves. Note: I might have given this one less star just because it is a LONG DAY out (has noting to do with the great guide), and can be a bit tiring. Also, there can be a lot of “down time” waiting for people to catch up on trails, or while they wait in line for the toilet. But don’t let that dissuade you. Just be prepared for it, and enjoy all this tour has to offer.
It was a great experience thanks to the Christopher guide. He did a very pleasant tour and we had a great time; we highly recommend it!!
