Gran Experiencia 🙂
Tuvimos un tiempo encantador! Manuel era nuestro guía de viaje y era tan informativo, sensible y amable. Todos los guías turísticos parecía increíble, pero no teníamos mucha experiencia con otros grupos. Sinceramente, este viaje fue un valor increíble. Tenía fuera de esto visiones del mundo. Si te encanta tejer o textiles en general, te encantará conocer a todos estos increíbles artesanos, y te encantará aprender sobre el lago Titicaca. Si estás en Puno, y tienes tiempo, hazte un favor y reserva este viaje. ¡No te arrepentirás!
Great Experience 🙂
We had a lovely time! Manuel was our tour guide and he was so informative, responsive and friendly. All the tour guides seemed amazing, but we didn’t have much experience with other groups. Honestly, this trip was an incredible value. It had out of this world views. If you love weaving or textiles in general, you will love meeting all these amazing artisans, and you will love learning about Lake Titicaca. If you are in Puno, and you have time, do yourself a favor and book this trip, you won’t regret it!
