Incredible day. There was only myself, another guy and a woman from Bogota on the trip but it was such a friendly atmosphere it really felt like a day with new friends you make when travelling.
Juan provided the tour in both Spanish and English whilst his father drove and oversaw things. I've read the other reviews and can't comment as I wasn't there but our day was very transparent. We knew swimming was an optional extra, as was the observatory. We were also surprised with a small boat ride to stave off the heat.
The red and grey deserts are very different but each offer a different experience. I enjoyed them both for different reasons. We ate fruit from a cactus, saw turtles and iguana, traversed canyons and learned about how the red desert formed.
When I booked I thought £100 was expensive and figured 'tourism' but by the end of the day I would happily pay that again. Around 10 hours of experience, door to door transport and friendly, knowledgeable people.
I thought the whole day was incredible.
