Lo más emocionante fue llegar al puente símbolo del lugar, acompañado por muchos recuerdos pasados. No tengo palabras para describir lo maravilloso que fueron los guías de la excursión hasta S Antonio de los Cobres. Muchas gracias

Der ganze Ausflug war ein einziges Erlebnis. Super organisiert vom Start bis zur Rückkehr. Wir waren unterwegs in einem Konvoi von fünf Reisebussen und wurden begleitet von einem weiteren Bus als Reserve, sowie einem Fahrzeug mit Monteuren und einem Krankenwagen. Die Fahrt mit dem Zug war ein bleibendes Erlebnis.

Il viaggio in treno è le soste, il contesto con la popolazione locale. Il contatto con viaggiatori provenienti da tutto il mondo.

desconforme porque me cobraron lo que no era,322,20usd a un valor del dolar cuando tuve que abonar el resumen de tarjeta a casi 26 pesos ,siendo que los pasajeros de la excursión,habían abonado $1800,significa que nos sentimos estafados,siendo que somos argentinos tengo todos los comprobantes y deseo recibír una respuesta satisfactoria ,ya que hoy uds.están ofreciendo el producto a 60usd.quiere decír que me cobraron por cuatro y viajamos 2

La misma gente de Salta me recomendaba no hacerlo. Igualmente fui y si, la verdad no me impactó. El valor es muy alto y creo que no lo vale. Si tienen tarjeta del banco Macro le hacen una devolucion de $500. Llevensé abrigo, hace muuuuuucho frío alla arriba.
