Excellent experience in the Valle de la Luna. We want to highlight the great work of Isidora as a guide and Gerardo as a driver. Both were very approachable, attentive, and always concerned that we enjoyed every moment of the tour. We especially appreciate the dedication and good disposition they had until the end of the tour. The last stop was an excellent closing to an unforgettable experience. 100% recommended! Thank you for making this trip even better.
We want to thank Isidora, our guide, and Gerardo, our driver, for the excellent experience we had in the Valle de la Luna. Both were very kind throughout the entire tour, making it entertaining and very pleasant. The final stop was a special moment, where they took care of us with a lot of affection and dedication. Nothing to say, just congratulate and thank you for making this experience an unforgettable memory. Totally recommended.
Stunning view! There's a trail with a narrower part but the guides Aldo and Andres were exceptional! Super recommend!
It was wonderful! The guide Anita is exceptional. She knows a lot about everything and was always very kind and concerned. Very sympathetic and amused. The tour is amazing by itself, but the guide made it even better.
Isidora and Aldo were excellent. Knowledgeful, friendly and already enjoying and gave us tips on the other tours. Very organized via WhatsApp everything went very well. I recommend!
Andres was our tour guide again! He knew so much about the area, history, and geology. He kept us moving and timed everything perfectly. We got back and hour early. I would have liked a few more minutes at sunset after we ate for pictures but overall a fabulous tour. One criticism is that it would help to tell people the activity involved for this tour. I don’t expect an hour hike and didn’t wear the right clothes. Letting people know they will get very dirty and dusty would have helped us plan what to wear and what to bring. That being said, we loved the tour. The food on both our tours was very good. It had a wide variety of options and everything was very tasty! Thank you again to our awesome guide Andrea and driver Julio!
A totally extraordinary experience! 🌘 The landscapes are impressive and at times really make you feel like you are on Mars, the salt mountain range, the dunes and the rock formations create a unique environment, while the small salt crystals make the tour even more special. I want to highlight the excellent work of our guide, Anita; she was very professional, kind, and attentive at all times, from the coordination prior to the tour until the end of the experience. It is a tour that I highly recommend for those visiting San Pedro de Atacama 🏜️
Nice walk! The guide Anita was sensational!
