A day worth every minute - Super price compatible with the tour, Mirko guide punctual, fun and professional, in addition to knowing every detail of the region, if you can, ask for it, if there is a better local guide, I don't know. Breakfast very well prepared. The whole circuit is very quiet, just follow all the breathing directions due to altitude, we did the whole walk and a small 2km trail with an 80 year old lady. The locations are very beautiful and unique, really worth it.

E x t r a o r d i n a r i o - This by far has been my favorite walk in San Pedro de Atacama. The altiplanic landscapes and flamingo watching are something simply fascinating and spectacular. Our guide was Cristobal and he was responsible for explaining everything, giving us advice not to jump and putting good vibes on everything. At the end of the tour, we had lunch in a very rich place and managed to feed flames. I highly recommend it!

Inolvidable - The views were spectacular, we saw snow-covered Piedras Rojas, something that hasn't happened at this time of year for years. We loved it, even more so with the good company of our guide, Álvaro.

Brilliant day in the mountains! - Had an amazing time with Diego! We started with an excellent (all vegetarian) breakfast overlooking a beautiful green valley in Tocanao and then continue to Chaxa lagoon where we saw flamingoes. The antiplanic lakes and Piedra Roja were absolutely magical.
Diego was an excellent driver and guide who kept us entertained and informed at all times. Strongly recommended!!!
