What people are saying about San Pedro de Atacama

The organization of the tour was excellent. Even before I left Austria, the responsible travel agency contacted me and asked if I needed any support. Locally in Chile and in the desert, they made an excellent effort to look after me. There is no better care! In the 4 days we really visited everything there is to see in the Atacama. More Atacama is not possible! Only the hotel room was a bit small, but that seems to be the standard in the desert. Highly Recommended!

amazing trip. Saw so many beautiful sights, had a lovely mixed group in the car and stayed in some really cool places! It gets real cold so be prepared!! Saul was a great guide who was very informative and clear. Being transferred straight across the border into Chile was also really convenient. Thank you!!!

This was a fantastic tour! I felt like we got to see all the highlights of the salt flats without it being too long or too short. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly! Be prepared for accommodations that are not the fanciest. A great value for your money!

The organization was great. The tour was really spectacular. Unfortunately, the accommodations were not that nice, but all in all really successful

Fantastic trip with great guides and people. Don't forget to take warm clothes :)
