We were lucky that an English speaking tour had started just before we arrived so we joined it. Ernesto was very knowledgeable and explained things well. Very enjoyable tour learning about the native people of Argentina. They had a lovely cafe but we didnt have time to visit it. Highly recommended.

It was such an amazing morning at Punta Walichu. A great opportunity to find out more about the history of the places and the nomads. Unbelievable how some paintings on the cave walls are still there after so much time, very nice to hear al lot of info about each one of them, won't attach any photos of those as you really have to go and see. The guide incredibly warm and the hospitality wat top notch. And a very good coffee and cookies were waiting for us in their super cute cafe. And take a look at this cool magnet.
