Unforgettable but challenging tour
The horizon tourism is a great agency, super attentive and everything is easily resolved by whatsapp (neither were we at the agency). We left with all the tours already closed from Brazil and we did not regret it! Even I was able to change a ride because the road was closed in the day! I had height pain (light) and felt well assisted by them! The driver are excellent and the food wonderful! The only suggestion would be to put fewer people in the Van ( suddenly charging a little more expensive to be able to operate this way) since on one of the tours my husband was all squeezed and the routes are all long and uncomfortable! The backbands are very uncomfortable (but there are people who don't connect or only find out later). So if you care about comfort and be the last hotel to get caught on the journey you run the risk of getting in the worst place in the van! Another positive thing is that they make groups of each tour and share the guide’s location and arrival order in the hotels (which avoids long waits from other travellers). Agasalhem super for this walk, I went with two socks and snowboots and still the toes freeze (was the biggest complaint of all). We got 11 degrees less! I recommend being the last tour of the script as it is the most challenging of all!

Extremely professional and great experience
We booked 3 tours with Horizonte Turismo and they were excellent and professional from start to finish. From our initial visit to their office, we were attended to by Catalina, she took time to explain everything in detail and most importantly everything happened as she explained on all the tours. Coincidentally we had the same guide Fran on 2 of the tours and she was great. Enough information to make it interesting she pitched at the right level of the audience
