After reading reviews of this tour company here on TA, four of us older travellers booked a day tour to Samaipata. We were not disappointed. It was a long day but a very interesting and enjoyable one. Our guide, Iver, has an amazing knowledge and understanding of the El Fuerte Pre-Incan site and explained its history to us. It is a very interesting place to visit. We also enjoyed the museum and waterfall. Our driver , Migel, also did a great job negotiating the road safely and carefully - at times the road was quite rough and narrow. All in all, a great day thank you.

I was in Bolivia on a Mission trip past March. One of my counterparts got a day trip set up for a group of us. We were picked up at our hotel by Nick himself along with his significant other ☺ From the moment we started out trip to the end….it could not have been better ☺ Samaipata tour was amazing along with the Las Cuevas waterfalls…..just breathtaking. We had a lunch at La Luna Verde, Resto Bar…….EXCELLENT food!! Nick/significant could not have been any friendlier, professional and passionate about what they do ☺ I could go on and on but if I get a chance to go to Bolivia again,,,,,,,,I will be hooking up with Nick´s Adventures again…thank you so much for a memorable day!!!
