    We had a trip scheduled. Location and time for pickup was all confirmed and we had to cancel due to weather. Rescheduled for the falling day but they never confirmed with me the original pickup location and time. They changed it and never responded to any of my attempts to correct, now they won't refund my money. DONT GO WITH THIS COMPANY!

    If you are a fan of geology, then this trip is not to be missed. The andes vary greatly in colour with no 2 peaks the same. The scenery was stunning. The tour guide very helpful. However, a word of warning. If you suffer from altitude sickness fhen beware. I started to feel it from the stop at the natural arch Bridge. And was feeling quite ill by the time I got to cristo redentor. That said, my cousin who was travelling with me was completely unaffected.
