We recently booked three separate trips with Gijs at Ruta Verde. One of these was the 2 day/ 1 night trip Puno - La Paz by bus and catamaran overnighting at Sun Island with Transturin. From start to finish this service was faultless. We were picked up from our hotel on time and enjoyed an informative and interesting transfer overland... More

We recently booked a private tour with Gijs that went from Uyuni to San Pedro de Atacama. While the price is quite a bit higher than what you might pay for a group tour that you book in Uyuni, it was well worth the money.
