“Výlet byl naprosto příšerný, za ty peníze to opravdu nestálo. Vyzvednutí bylo okolo 5:30 a v popisu aktivity bylo napsáno, že doba trvání je deset hodin. Jak je tedy možné, že zpátky jsme byli už cca v 14:15? Navíc jsme neviděli ani všechny slibované body (např. vodopád Salto del Soldado). Průvodce byl asi jen na ozdobu, protože nám za celý výlet nic moc neřekl. Jen to, co se týkalo organizace, typu "Toto je hotel Portillo, Laguna del Inca je za ním. Běžte se tam sami podívat. Máte na to hodinu a půl." Samotná laguna byla taky celkem zklamání, protože k ní nebylo možné jít, byla za lyžařským areálem. Ale co…”

However, due to circumstances beyond their control, we didn't get picked up until 9:10 a.m. I wasn't too upset because I understand that these things happen, however that meant less time on the tour because they were rushing to get us back at a normal time. That said, our tour guide, Alejandro, was wonderful and he did a great job switching between Portuguese and English for our sake. (We were the only English-speakers on…”
