El Tatio - We did all the tours by the agency and they are excellent! Also the guides and drivers are helpful and kind. Today we did with Isidora (guide) and Júlio (driver). Her positive energy contagies everyone and Julio has lynx eyes to find the little animisz in the middle of the desert so that we can appreciate.

Another ‘must see’ in the Atacama - Another well organized trip, our guide Francisco was charming, energetic and well informed, always answering our questions. He did a brilliant job dancing between English, Spanish and Portuguese. Although there are lots of other tours at the geysers you never felt crowded or ontop of another group. We loved the contrast of the geysers with the wetlands where we stopped on the second half of the trip.

Highly recommended - What an amazing tour! Early start that is so worth it. Francisco was an amazing guide sharing his knowledge and ensuring that all the group was ok at all times especially given the altitude. Breakfast was also great with beautiful view over the mountains and geysers. Our driver (can't remember his name) was great as well.

El Tatio with FRANCISCO AVILA- amazing !!! - El Tatio with FRANCISCO AVILA & driver is DAVI 5:12am pick up to arrive early. 90 min drive up dark, curvy, windy roads handled like a nascar pro by DAVI thank you!! As we neared our destination FRANCISCO checked in with everyone and communicated frequently to make sure all were comfortable. Impressed with how much our guide knows! Everything from general Chilean history, random facts, to world news! We were warned it would be cold and while it was, I’m happy it wasn’t as bad as I thought. Zero degrees is definitely chilly if you’re not dressed properly. Seeing the twisters slow awake was cool. Being seated on a warm patch of earth as we were taught about the meaning of el tatio was perfect. Our guide takes pride in his work and it’s easy to tell! As the sun rose, the geysers slowed down and we headed for breakfast on site. To shake the chill the sun was coming out as Francisco promised and hot beverages warmed us quickly ! Breakfast with fresh made eggs was impressive ! If we were not at a high elevation a morning cocktail ( mimosa) would have been fun! Many questions revived with many answers from our guide. As we headed down the mountain we made several stops with educations about each place and facts about various animals on the side of the road. So coo! If you see Francisco Avila as a guide- you’re getting the best! PS- try the llama kebab!! Lean meat, juicy like a sirloin and had it at an old town on the way down, MACHUCA! Last tip- read the recommendations as you prepare to come here. No red meat night before- hold off on alcohol, otherwise you may be sorry. And dress warm, they do not provide you with coats or blankets! Enjoy. 🏔️🗻

The walk is amazing. The kos agency offers a very tasty snack, at final.l - It's an unimaginable scenario. You see it in reports, in magazines, but being next to the phenomenon is an incredible experience. It's a magnificent experience.
