Tourist services survey!

Tourist services survey!

Nick’s project here involves looking at the tourist services on offer in Malllasa, a village close to where we are living and helping local businesses attract more international tourists.

In our first week we visited the Valle de La Luna and the zoo, and went on a two hour horse ride down to the valley of the flowers. It was a tough job but somebody had to it!

The cheaters were just gorgeous. It was very hard to get a photo through the fence but we gave it a good try.

My horse was very stubborn and sometimes just stopped in the middle if the track. I think he could smell the fear!

Look mum! No hands!

Check out that cowboy hat!

 

Yesterday we went out on quad bikes for two hours through the valley near where we are living and up to 4000m.

Thankfully the quads came with a helmet, unlike the horse riding!
