Tour di 4 giorni del deserto di Atacama: Valle della Luna, geyser del Tatio e distese di sale del Cile

We had a great time on this trip. All the tour guides and drivers were knowledgeable and professional. They picked us up right at our hotel every day at the exact time we were told. Bottled water was plentiful (great since we were in the desert). So many nice touches, freshly cooked breakfast at the geysers, wine and cheese at Moon Valley. I would do this again in a minute!

Very good guides and excellent excursions. We paid for a 4 star hotel, but got put into a 3 star hotel which was undergoing major building works.

The tour met or exceeded expectations. Accommodation was above expectations clean comfortable and well located. Front desk service excellent and restaurant had a good and not expensive menu. Packed meals available on request. Tour Rutas Andinas guides were professional and sufficiently versed in the relevant botany, biology and geology. Included meals were good quality and sufficient quantity. Final 'sunset tour' - part of the Moon Valley tour involved the best Chilean wine we have tried. Pickups and transfers all went to time. HOWEVER due to the delay of Latam's flight from Santiago to Calama the tour operator Turavion is chasing us for compensation for the delay despite having a full or near full vehicle for the transfer. Turavion were also advised by us and others some four hours ahead of time of the delay.Else we may have given the tour 5 .

Amazing experience. The tour company was very professional from start to finish with great English speaking guide and really good driver. The destination is incredible. I booked online very easily and everything worked out as planned with tour really personalised.

The trip was terrific, perfectly suited to two 60-somethings who love different experiences and some creature comforts. Every activity, including airport transfers and all 3 excursions, were on time, as advertised, and well-run, with lovely surprises. The guides Leonardo and Michelangelo were well-versed, helpful, and understanding. The driver was careful and reassuring. Our hotel, Poblado Kimal, was charming. Each room is a little cabin with a sitting area, refrigerator, Jacuzzi and outside patio. Quite comfortable except they heat up during the day and there is no ventilation other than the front door and a small window in the bathroom. This hotel has a very good restaurant attached to it, open for breakfast from 7:30-10:30 and for dinner until 10pm. And a spa that we did not take advantage of, but seems lovely. The staff were always present and accommodating. Be advised that this is not an all-inclusive, organized tour. The package is the hotel and 3 excursions, which include two meals. The rest of the time you're on your own. This was perfect for us except we would have liked a more active contact person as a sort of Organizer as some questions remained unanswered until we were in the bus. E.g., do we really need hiking boots? Answer: No. San Pedro itself is a bit of a surprise: a small, dusty, rustic town reminiscent of the US Old West with a hippie vibe: backpackers, tie-dye, tattoos, dreadlocks and sand-boards. And many dogs in the streets but not much poop. It has quite good restaurants, much better than typical. The 3 excursions hit the high points of the area, but there are others to consider. There are SO MANY tour operators in town that I dont know how youd decide on which to use once youre there. Also be advised that they are at altitudes up to 14K feet, so you need to be aware of your own limitations and needs for which there is no preparation. My wife had a hard time but felt it was worth it. It was all unique and memorable.
