"I had an excellent experience today with Silvina. We went to the Palca Canyon and a viewpoint in the Valley of the Souls in La Paz, Bolivia. She is very professional. She took care of all the logistics, explained the distances, and we went at a comfortable pace. She always asked how we were doing to see if we should take a break or continue. The conversation was pleasant and I learned a lot. I am very happy and highly recommend her as a guide." - Jimena Maldonado, Bolivia Tour (Jul-2024).
