We just wanted to thank you and your team for the most amazing tour of the Salar. Having spoken to others who were on similar trips, we know how lucky we are. You looked after us from the moment we were collected to the minute you dropped us off. The food was superb and the English speaking guide fantastic. Bernice, the cook, was delightful and a joy to be with. And, the llama barbecue was delicious! We loved every minute of it, it is truly the best thing we have done on our whole round the world trip so far, and we have covered over 23,000 miles to date!! Hope you and Hobbi enjoy the photos attached. If you use them for marketing purposes, can I ask that you credit us? [(c) KSrtw.com] Thanks
