Our guide Javier was fantastic with a pretty encyclopaedic knowledge and happy to answer any questions. Wonderful views of flamingoes on the lagoons as well as many other species. The pre-Incan ruins in Tastil were a lovely diversion on the way out also. An absolutely wonderful day. Did have some slight communication problems with tangol prior to the tour so recommend confirming everything a day or two in advance.
