We met some lovely friends along the way and Diego our guide was amazing and well informed and had answers to all the questions we asked. Jairo our driver was excellent weaving around the confusing streets and stopping when folks wanted to take pics along the way etc. Such a lovely excursion, highly recommend :)”

The tourist agency offered another half day trip the next day at their own expense to make it up. Wonderful views of the lagoon and the surrounding landscape from the top of the hill. The Salt Cathedral is a unique experience.”

I passed on the audio guide and just explored. My guide Diego was good and accomondative. You could maybe do everything solo, just know traffic is a beast.”
