Nativa Express Puno Chivay recent customer reviews

There was some good and some bad I guess. We were expecting to be on a tourist bus laving early in the morning. The day before however we got a What’s App notice advising we would be picked up at our hotel 2 hours later, so that was good! But we were so confused by it all we had to ask our super nice hotel Manager to call for us and ask what was happening. All was good. In the morning when we were picked up, we realized that we would go to Chivay in a Sprinter van (all of us with bad stomachs, and feeling ill). Oh well, the guides were really nice and just told us to let them know how we were doing and they would stop when needed. What they didn’t tell us was that the driver of the bus also drove in the F1 circuit which made things a bit more hellish. All in all it was fine. The extra sleep was nice. The people were really nice. The ride was looong, even travelling at the speed of sound.
