And unfortunately we don't have much choice but to stay at home.Auto-translated”

“Our guide Julio was very kind and patient, taking time to explain each attraction and answer all our questions. However, the tour itself felt poorly designed. It crammed too many stops into one day, giving us only about 30 minutes at each site before rushing to the next. Additionally, three of the stops were local shops—selling silver, alpaca clothing, and snacks—which seemed more focused on encouraging purchases than sightseeing, which wasn’t what we signed up for”
