Amazing Tour with Guide FranciscoOne day before the tour, the company invited all participants to join a WhatsApp group and shared a packing list. The day before pickup, Francisco shared the exact locations and estimated pickup times for each hotel.After picking everyone up, we headed to the mountain, stopping first at a gas station for snacks. Then we visited a beautifully designed chocolate house to get coffee or ice cream and use the restroom. Next, we stopped at a waterfall to take pictures.Our main destination was the hot springs, which had bathrooms, changing rooms, and several pools—cooler at the lower level and warmer at the higher pools. Francisco didn’t soak in the pools with us but was very helpful, taking photos for everyone at this stunning natural spot. After the hot springs, we visited a viewpoint to watch the sunset over the mountains and rocks, capturing more photos.The final stop was a barbecue. The location is charming, nestled in the mountains with a lodge. A short five-minute walk uphill brought us to a wood platform with an outdoor barbecue setup. The chef served fruits, a variety of alcohols including red and white wine, beer, and Pisco Sour, followed by mushroom, pork, sausage, and beef. After dinner, the lights were turned off, and Francisco used a green laser to point out stars. Before leaving, we made a final stop at the lodge restroom and museum, and Francisco safely dropped us back at our hotels.
