Great organisation and great food - I did three separate trips with this company on my stay in SP. Each one was incredibly well organised, great comms on pick up times. Food stops were well thought out and delicious. The guides were all really friendly and able to accommodate multiple languages. There is a lot of driving and the driver do a great job felt very safe. They tell you wrap up warm for the geysers. Despite it being 30 degrees in the town it was COLD. So follow their advice.

Fantastic day trip - What a great day tour. First of all compliments to Nicolas. Love his energy and his enthusiasm. He feeds of the energy of others as well in a positive way. So the more happy people are around him, the more happy he becomes as well.
The tour was a lot of driving, but it is understandable, seeing how remote some of the locations we visited are. But all of these locations are super pretty. Nicolas was able to explain everything in 3 languages and even had a book about all the animal types we could see throughout the day.
Also supplied are two tables (breakfast and lunch) filled with so much food you don't have to eat throughout the rest of the day.

Good way to see the sites - Beautiful scenery. Pick up logistics were very smooth, and the lunch was nice! I didn’t feel that I got a ton of information on the tour, but it was an easy way to get out of San Pedro and to see “must see,” incredible places in Atacama.

It was definitely a perfect excursion! - 10/10 the tour with our guide Rodolfo. We had a great time, learned a lot, ate delicious, everything was perfectly organized, and even took some amazing photos. Thank you very much Rodolfo, we appreciate you even taking the time to talk with us during the tour and learn more and enjoy it!

Great excursion! - We just went on this trip with Giulia & Rocio and we really enjoyed it.
Giulia was very knowledgeable about each stop which was very helpful. And Rocio saved us many times by the very hungry goat at our lunch! Which was very funny.
The breakfast and the lunch was the best I think we’d had on an excursion like this so thank you.
We’d definitely book again!

A really nice day in the Atacama! - This was my second trip with Pukarumi. They did a great job. The tour was well managed and we saw flamingos and vicuñas aplenty. Our guide Giuli was very engaged and shared time with all of us and there were people from Italy, UK, USA and Brazil. I learned a great deal about the area from Giuli. Our driver Jordan was a very good driver, no issues at all in the transit.

Gorgeous places but choose another company - We went to some absolutely gorgeous places. Our guide Rocio spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable. However, our guide and driver rushed us so much that it very negatively impacted our enjoyment of the tour. Rocio would walk far ahead of the group and then start explaining things when only a third of the group was there. David was terrible about rushing us- I have traveled extensively but never been told I can only take one photo. He was unfriendly and constantly pushing us to hurry up. I know schedules need to be kept but the schedule needs to be changed to avoid this.
