“Carlos was an awesome guide. It was supposed to be a group of three, but the third person cancelled so it was only my friend, myself and Carlos. We got going with quite a bit of ease. We expressed concerns with altitude in the past as I have suffered with altitude sickness at a similar altitude. Thankfully, due to his expertise and the pace, there were no issues whatsoever. It was much easier than either of us had feared. I think we made pretty good time, especially relative to the expectations set by Carlos. He gave good advice to my friend who is trying to improve his Spanish beyond an intermediate level, as Carlos obviously has done the same with his English. I felt bad that the traffic was horrible, but obviously it'd be impossible to move the city or the mountains. Carlos was awesome. We hope he can continue doing this for years to come and his wife and children are happy and healthy.”
“Amazing trip. The guides were super friendly. Highly recommended!”
