Inappropriate / Inaccurate? Raul Choquehuillca Echame

Description:

Raul is a friendly and reliable taxi driver with his own five-seater car (with large trunk for luggage) that he is proud to keep in good shape. He is based in the Sacred Valley, in the town or Urubamba, and will take you anywhere you want to go in the Sacred Valley, between Cusco and Ollantaytambo, to the sites of Moray and the Salineras, the highland towns of Lares with its thermal spring baths, the indigenous communities of Huilloc and Patakancha above Ollantaytambo, to the sites east of Cusco like Tipon and to Santa Teresa, a few miles downriver from the town of Machu Picchu Pueblo.
He only speaks a very little English but will tell you about everywhere in Spanish if you like.

Description

We went to Moray, the Inca agricultural development place, like stone crop rings, very cool. Then to the Salineras, the Inca salt pools near Maras, above Urubamba in the Sacred Valley. My gran stayed with Raul and came down in the cab whilst we walked down to the road between Ollantaytambo and Urubamba, which took just over an hour and was a beautiful walk. He picked us up there and took us back to Ollantaytambo.

Best bits: Seeing the amazing sites he took us to and talking to him as he is so friendly.
Worst bits: Cant think of any!
