The excursion was as described, except I thought we were going to a secluded "lagoon" and it was a wide open reservoir! The Andes are much more desert like in this area, which was different than I expected. Our guide, Manuel, and driver were great. After out time at the reservoir, we drove further in. They set up a beautiful picnic in a meadow and offered local wines with cheeses, fruits and meats. Very lovely. Beautiful mountain scenes.

The entire tour was great from start to finish. The scenery was beautiful and our guide and driver were fantastic, very friendly and incredibly knowlegable, plus the picnic they prepared was great. Very highly recommended.

Beautiful experience. Excellent driver, and the guide was the best English speaking person we met in Chile. We had thought that there may have been another stop than the end point, but there was little time for that, given that distance. Definitely recommended.

Our tour guide Frank was great! English was his first language so that helped us out a lot :) He is very knowledgeable about all things Chile. Also this trip takes you much further into the reservoir area than others - glad I picked this over the others! You should too!! Perfect picnic w great vino!
