At Toconoa there is a small village, with a tiny square, a bell tower and, across the road, a church to which it belongs. The church is larger than it looks. Inside it is quite plain, with a very high roof, and surprisingly cool in the heat of the day. Charming place to stop.

This was one of my favorite tours we did in San Pedro de Atacama! Willie was our driver and Tiari was our guide. It was just my family in the tour which allowed for easier connection with the guide and more room to ask questions. Together, they gave us a great breakfast that was well enjoyed! Tiari was a great guide: gave us a thorough history lesson on the area, told us stories and legends of the volcanoes that the indigenious communities told, and along with Willie, took us to the best spot to see and photograph the three species of flamingoes found in the area. Finally, they took us to Toconao and showed us around the downtown of the town. It was a great time! 10/10 recommend, and would definitely do this tour again!
