A tour that I will never forget for the wonderful of its views.....its postcards and the warmth of the people who accompany and guide....
This was not a hiking trip as advertised. We made several stops to look at things which I had already done on another tour. This was way overpriced and not what it was advertised to be. I did the same thing with an English speaking guide for a third of the price. This guide wasn’t even English speaking. Did I mention how overpriced this was?
Dear Leida, We sincerely regret that your experience on the Quebrada de las Conchas Hiking from Cafayate tour did not meet your expectations, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. This tour is designed as a combination of panoramic driving segments, interpretive stops at key landmarks, and a final trekking section through a less-traveled area, intended to provide a more direct connection with the natural surroundings. It is an accessible experience that blends stunning landscapes, cultural interpretation, and moderate physical activity. We are sorry if the prior description was not sufficiently clear and will take your comments into account to improve the way we communicate this experience. Regarding the guide, we sincerely apologize if the agreed language was not provided. We always aim to assign guides who speak the requested language, and we will review this situation internally to prevent similar issues in the future. Despite this specific concern, this tour is often highly appreciated for offering a well-rounded view of one of the most iconic landscapes in northern Argentina, combining nature, geology, and local history in a truly unique setting. Please don’t hesitate to reach out for any further clarification. Thank you once again for your time and trust. Best regards, Tangol Tours
