BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Distances are short, the standing is long
Two or three hours mostly on your feet on hard ground. Comfortable shoes matter more than fitness.
The route is public space
Markets, lanes and places of worship are where people live and pray. Ask before photographing anyone and cover up where others do.
Cash for the small things
Tea, a fritter, an entry ticket. Card acceptance in old quarters is patchy at best.
Ask what the group size will be
A walking tour of six and one of thirty are different products at the same price. It is a fair question.

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.

Rio de Janeiro done well. The itinerary had room to breathe. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Would book with them again.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Rooms were comfortable and the locations meant we could walk most evenings. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Solid operator.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Solid operator.

Questions people ask

It needs specific habits rather than general worry: no phone out on the street, nothing in your hands on the beach, apps rather than hailed taxis, and do not walk between neighbourhoods after dark. Inside those rules the south zone is straightforward. The briefing on day one is specific about which streets.
