BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Check the altitude before you book the flight
Leh is at 3,500 m and you arrive there by aeroplane in an hour from sea level, which is the fastest ascent most people will ever make. Two full days doing nothing on arrival is the standard advice and it is not optional because you are on holiday rather than a trek.
A holiday itinerary still has hard days in it
Pass crossings by road, long transfers and early starts are normal on these trips. Read the day plan rather than the brochure photograph.
Ask what the group size actually is
A group holiday is priced on filling a coach. It is a fair question and the answer changes the trip completely.
The places you pass through are lived in
Ask before photographing people and houses, take your shoes off where others do, and buy locally where you can. A holiday moves through more communities in a week than a trek does.

About Pumice & Pine

Every itinerary is built around where you sleep rather than where you go, because in the Andes that is the only decision that matters.

Well paced over 7 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Lodges along the way were simple and comfortable enough after a long day. Good value for what's included.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Lodges along the way were simple and comfortable enough after a long day. Worth every rupee.

La Paz & Uyuni done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Food was plentiful and hot, which counts for a lot at altitude. Good value for what's included.

Well paced over 7 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Every night's lodge was a step up from what I'd braced for. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Recommended.

Hotels were a step below what I expected for the price. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Lodges along the way were simple and comfortable enough after a long day. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Would book with them again.

Only when there is a thin film of water on it, which means the wet season roughly January to March. That is also when the southern lagoon circuit becomes impassable. You get the mirror or you get the lagoons — not both.
