Amazing - Juli took us to the entrance of the park and showed us the route options. We made a much more complete journey with her than the other groups we crossed, which made only the devil’s throat. It was incredible! In addition, she is super patient and makes the experience very light, we like it quite.

A crush! Cycling in the Atacama Desert! - One of our most beautiful activities we have done in Chile. First of all, by the welcome and professionalism of our guide Julia who provided us with 2 good functional and safe mountain bikes as well as by her great knowledge of the region and her bike skills. She made us discover the magnificent landscapes outside the ordinary near San Pedro d’Atacama! The effort on the bike was really worth it and allowed us to feel the energy of this magical place and admire the beautiful sunset in the desert! Just big wow!! Mercii Julia! 👌🏼🫶🏼

4 Hours of Emotion on Bicycle - It was our last TOUR!! And it was the most PERFECT. The most exciting. The most wonderful. Julia was our guide. An amazing Being. His passion for what he does made us enjoy every metre of the mountain. We went on a BikeTour, and ended up crossing the Salt Range. Crossing the dyed Devil's Throat. We saw the most incredible sunset and sunset. And we enjoyed Julia's stories telling us how she crossed America. From Usuhaia to Colombia by BIKE for 4 years!! Imagine an AMAZING Guide that's Juli!! Queen of Queens SUPER THANK YOU!!!! Do not hesitate!! Find her please!!!

Bike/Hike - This was our first tour in San Pedro de Atacama, and one of our favorites! Julia was our guide and she was awesome! We started out on bikes, and then went for a hike afterwards. It was a great trail, and no one there but us. She showed us many points of interest , as well as some history of the area. It was a half day tour , and the perfect amount of time for us. We highly recommend this bike tour, you won’t be disappointed !

Great experience! - We had a great ride with Juli, who was able to put together a new route at the last minute due to flood related closures. She took us on a nice ride to an alternate canyon where we had a fun hike, some great conversation about the town and areas, and then back into town.
