We used Whipala Expeditions to plan 3 days in Atacama. They were wonderful. We reached out to them at the last minute and Caro from the main office was professional, efficient and accommodating to our needs. We booked 5 activities and they were all great: Day1, Rainbow Valley and Moon Valley; Day 2 Red Rocks and Day 3 Tatio Geysers and Astronomical Tour. Our guide was Xavier, and he was super nice and knowledgeable. Highly reccomended

Hicimos el tour con Javier y fue fantástico. Muy cercano, atento y amable. El desayuno fue de 10 y las explicaciones geniales. El madrugón y el frío son duros, pero merece la pena.
