Our guide Lorena and driver were so wonderful and friendly. We got to experience the towns of Gautavite and Nemacon for a taste of local life. The Gautavite site was very interesting and pretty. Having a guide to help translate was very helpful because the regular Gautavite site tour is in Spanish only. Nemacon was also a hidden gem slightly off the beaten path. Nemacon's town gave us a great taste of a more mountainous town life and the salt mine tour was very interesting and unique. Highly recommend this tour!
