An unforgettable introduction to the Atacama Desert. Our half-day tour to Valle de la Luna felt incredibly thorough and thoughtfully curated, allowing us to experience far more than we expected in just a few hours. The desert landscape is truly otherworldly. What made the tour particularly special was that it wasn’t just scenic viewpoints - we also set out on a beautiful hike, exploring different formations up close and learning fascinating geological insights along the way. Our guide was a very knowledgeable and warm woman who kindly took individual photographs of everyone, which was such a thoughtful touch - especially meaningful during our honeymoon. To top it all off, we enjoyed a lovely picnic prepared by our guide. Sitting there, sharing food while overlooking the oasis, felt incredibly special. Highly recommended for anyone visiting San Pedro de Atacama.
Perfectly organized. See good dinner. Lots of interesting information. Beautiful sunset mood great viewpoint
Wonderful trip!! We did the same day we arrived in SAN Pedro. The guide Manu was very good!! He spoke English and Spanish. Passed a lot of knowledge during the walk. Valle de la Luna is very beautiful!! I highly recommend!!
Spectacular! The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful time watching the sun set over mars Valley with Pisco sours.
The only activity like this we have ever been on where they collected you from your hotel bit then dropped you off without warning two.miles away and said it was normal
A nice visit to this unique area of Chile. Very dry-5% humidity so bring water and moisturizer/ lip balm. The landscape is so different from most deserts.
A great afternoon tour. Especially loved the walk through the desert. Nice little stop for pisco sours and dramatic sunset stop.
The tour guide was very helpful in taking photos and knowledgeable and friendly. Moon valley is also a stunning site recommended for tourist.
This tour could have been better if our guide gave us more information about what we were doing and spoke more English. It was advertised as an English speaking guide. He did both Spanish and English with a greater emphasis on Spanish. Great energy and super friendly.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and could share his love of the beautiful region and its geography without being dull. Well worth the money.
