Great experience. It was hot and humid at San Andres Mayan site but cool to look at. The Cerro Verde is a must experience Absolutely amazing, the views and the freshness. Alfredo our guide was pleasant and fantastic guide, him and the driver Juan were very perfessional and accommodating. Highly recommend this tour. The road to the national park was a bit tough with curves but worth it.
