Out of all the Atacama desert tours, this one seemed a little rushed and lacking in any narration. The sights themselves were beautiful but it would have been better with some engagement from the tour guide. Not sure if the other tours are any better.

Este es un clásico de San Pedro que siempre te entregará un hermoso atardecer al final del día. Vale la pena hacerlo en un tour (no muy masivo, de maximo 10 o 12 personas) porque el recorrido es algo escarpado y si es muy masivo hay gente que se queda atrás y hay que estar esperando.
Un imperdible al qué hay que ir!!!
