The tour was great and we visited many of the best sites in Atacama. The guides were excellent, knowledgeable and very friendly. Because of the distances between the sites was significant and worth the drive, the drives were long. This was ok, but there were 1 or 2 too many people in the van we were in. Being last in I was in the last row of four, between some big folks and it was very uncomfortable after a 9 hour tour. The tour company needs to consider that the space available in the van may not adequate if there are some larger folks and therefore book a couple less people. It is a small group tour. This is the only negative on a good day.

Passeio não é agradável para família, por falta de uma melhor estrutura de alimentação. E nem todos irão curtir a sensação de falta de folêgo e enjoo.

This was my favourite tour of the Atacama. I appreciated that everything was included and that we didn’t have to carry extra money to pay the park entrance fees. Our guide Jirmosa ( I don’t think that is how you spell her name sorry) was a passionate experienced guide who knew the very best time to take us to the Chaxa Lagoon to get a silent and private viewing before the hoards of tourists! Our experience here was special. Next we went up to the Altiplanic lakes and walked around marvelling at their beauty. We saw lots of Vicuña and bird life including a Rhea. On to the Salar de Tamara most remarkable place with red iron rocks fused with basalt from a pyroclastic explosion. The views here were stunning and it was wonderful to have so much time to walk around. We then stopped for lunch in a small eatery that had wonderful food . At the end of the excursion we got taken back to our hotel. This was much appreciated
