“The guide, Angie, was knowledgeable and upbeat. The catch was the bus that was subpar: windshield had a large crack as did the window next to our seat. Also, a number of seats were malfunctioning: either the did no hold an upright position or would not budge from "sleep/rest" position. On a long bus trip, we find essential that the bus be in top condition.”

The main intent is of course for you to buy, which I was not interested. The guide was very knowledgable and did a good job. The area is beautful so as long as you know what you are getting into it was a tiring but ok day trip.”

He spoke alternating in Spanish and English, providing interesting facts about the geography, wildlife, culture, and more. The town of Cachi was pretty with a lovely plaza/square, and we had a great lunch there, but honestly, there was not enough to see/do for a 2-hour stop.”
