DESERT WITH SNOW - We went on 10 DE August 2025 and found it spectacular. Although the Piedras Rojas pass was closed POR the snow, we had the opportunity DE see something quite rare: the Laguna Miscanti covered DE blanco. The experience DE seeing the point where the DE desert encounters the snow of the ES is breathtaking. We also learned a little about the Lickanantay culture and its ancestral technologies. One DE the best tours we did EN San Pedro DE Atacama.

Wonderful experience - The tours were great, the guides and assistance before and after tb sale were impeccable! Even with the impossibility to go to Piedras Rojas because of the snow, the agency gave all the assistance and offered an alternative tour with the guide Anitta that was amazing! I highly recommend

One DE the best experiences in my life! - An unforgettable trip, nature ES amazing! Visiting the Altiplanica Lagoons and seeing the Flamingos and visiting the Red Stones was, without a doubt, one DE the most magical moments of my trip when visiting the DE Atacama desert. The landscape ES simply breathtaking: the peace DE los Flamingos Andinos EN lagoons, DE contrasts between the red DE la rocas, the snow EN la Cordillera, the blue of the sky, create natural postcards that simply filled my soul. What made my experience even more special was our guide, Nicolas Illapai, his knowledge, his excellent character, passion POR the area and his exceptional way DE explaining everything made my experience much more than a tourist excursion. Ask Nicolas as a guide, you will have NO regrets, he ES unique! DE well as being an excellent photographer! I also DElight Gerardo our driver, who handled the whole journey with great caution, always DE within the speed limits and attentive to our safety. One detail that made a difference was the delicious breakfast we were offered during the excursion, with freshly made scrambled eggs. Also, as I am a coeliac, I was excited to see that EN all mom had safe and special options for me, both EN breakfast and lunch. That level DE attention ES NO common and I deeply value it! I recommend this experience 100%. A journey that has marked my soul! I will definitely return to Atacama and ask POR Nicolas as a guide and Gerardo as a driver! See you next time! Nicté

Amazing. Cris was an... - Amazing. Cris was an amazing and kind tour guide (Jordan was a great driver and co-host). I went in the winter (July) - it was chilly in the morning and warms up...but phenomenal with the snow. This is one of the most gorgeous places on the planet. If you've been to California's Death Valley, the area is similar, yet MUCH bigger, higher, more contrasts, and with Flamingoes!

Great guide. Van tight. - The tour was very good with the guide Chris, very friendly and fun, always willing to explain everything. Nothing to complain about from the driver or guide. The most beautiful walk in Atacama, despite the cold. The only bad thing was that they provided a very tight van for a long and tiring ride and, as it was also crowded it was even tighter. Other than that, everything is perfect.

Red stones - Incredible walk, wonderful views of the mountains, lakes, flamingos and the road is quiet, without many curves. The coffee and lunch were delicious. The guide and the driver very attentive. The biggest problem was the cold, the day was cloudy. You have to go very upset. But it's worth the walk.

- The tour was overcrowded with zero flexibility. Limited opportunities for using the restrooms, lunch from the box on the bench without a table, fully booked minibus with limited space for sitting or backpacks, visited every single place in a peak hour with multiple other tourist groups, not stopping at the best viewpoints as many other tourist groups/buses, waited 30 minutes for pick-up in the morning. Every single place that is a part of this tour is definitely worth visiting - but in a different setup!
