This was a great experience and so much more than expected. I had Roland as a guide. Know that it is a full day but the drive and the additional stops to and from the bridge are broken up wisely. I actually really loved seeing the volcano and the four lagoons and flamingos more than I expected, breakfast and lunch stops were a nice touch, and and of course, the bridge experience and knowledge provided by our guide were top-notch. He provided interpretation in both Spanish and Engligh for the entire group which was all more impressive. Countless breath-taking photo opportunities once you get to the canyon and bridge! Do it, and bring 25 soles extra for entry fees to volcano and bridge portions of the tour.

Really liked the bridge. 4 communities come together each year to rebuild. Our tour guide seemed to really work with the local people helping them tell their stories. Guide also helped me when he learned I was having trouble with the altitude and with some phone issues.. I needed to fix a travel problem.

I had a great experience, the guide explained how this bridge is done every year, I enjoyed seeing the 4 lagoons, it can be seen that the agency cares about providing good service and training its guides.
