    The walk in Talampaya was amazing - fabulous scenery and an excellent local guide. The variety of scenery in the trip as a whole was far beyond what I expected. Our guide, Carolina, was also awesome and looked after us brilliantly throughout.

    The wine tasting was excellent. It would have been lovely to have time to be able to have lunch at Kaiken as the location was beautiful. The walk in Talampaya was excellent. So was the visit to the 7 coloured hills.
