Bike Tour in San Pedro de Atacama - Devil's Throat
Description
The Valley that we will visit is wonderful, due to its history, its geological formations and the passage of the San Pedro River, which makes this Valley a true oasis in the desert. I believe that touring the landscapes riding a bicycle makes the adventure have a unique flavor. We will enter the Catarpe Valley through El Carmen so that you can see the magnitude of the Valley and you will have an incredible postcard of Pukará de Quitor. We will tour the Valley at the pace that you indicate so that you can vibrate the landscapes, and can feel part of them. The great adventure in our activity will be descending the Devil's Throat, this is something that definitely highlights our proposal from the others you can see. This will not be difficult at all and very fun. I hope I can guide you in this experience, that you can self-discover and enrich yourself with this adventure that I want to share with you. Our fundamental idea is that they enjoy it, that they go beyond their limits and let themselves be guided in the adventure.

What an incredible experience! Juli was an excellent guide and took us on a really interesting route with lots of single-track. It was so much fun and the scenery was incredible. The route was not the main one everyone takes so it was lovely and quiet. Highly recommend this activity!
The most wonderful experience! From start to finish, the bike tour with Andrej was the perfect combination of adventure, local knowledge, and great company. The route was thoughtfully planned, we went to Catarpe/Garganta del Diablo but taking a slightly different route than the regular way (so we got to experience it from an angle that not everybody sees), making it feel extra special. The pace and route felt perfectly adjusted to our particular biking skills. Andrej made me feel comfortable and confident on the bike, and everyone felt welcome and included throughout the tour. His fun facts about the area were genuinely interesting without feeling like an overload of information. He also went out of his way to take photos and videos, without anyone even needing to ask. His photography skills are 👌👌👌 so now I even have some pictures that make me look really cool!! His bike skills also really impressive, when the terrain got technical he seemed to always have one eye on the group, one eye on the track, and somehow filming and taking photos at the same time 🤣 you're definitely in good hands here. In all, the whole experience felt relaxed, authentic, and actually turned out to be one of my favourite things during my time in San Pedro (and I did a lot!). 10/10, I can't wait to take another tour next year! ;) Muchas gracias! 💜
Wow Clara, thank you so much for such a detailed description. Thank you so much, and we'd be happy to join you on another trip when you return.
A private bike tour in the Atacama Desert is an incredible and immersive adventure, offering stunning landscapes and personalized pacing.
Thanks Paulo!!
Great experience! Andrej was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and knew a lot of facts. Our group had mixed abilities in riding with a mountain bike but Andrej was brilliant at making sure everyone got the best experience. Was a great way to meet others and the ride in the evening allowed for some great sights and cool rides through some archways. Would highly recommend!
Thank you very much, Firoz!
We had a blast! Our guide tailored the ride to match different experience of two riders in our group. The guide is very flexible in terms of meeting time, intensity. By the end of the ride, we're both hooked on mountain biking, made great memories, and learned a great deal about the area.
Thanks Amadeus for your comment. We're glad you enjoyed it.
We had an amazing experience biking with Andrej! He was so friendly, acted as our personal photographer, and taught us lots about the landscape and area. It was just us two and he was able to cater the ride to our experience level. Would 100% recommend doing this and will recommend to anyone coming to the area in the future!
Thank you for your feedback. We're so glad you enjoyed it.
Really special and worthwhile! Juli was wonderful.
Thank you so much for your comment. It was so nice sharing with you, Jasmine.
I had an amazing bike ride through the atacama desert and canyons. Julia was unwell but her partner Andrej took me and was a fantastic guide. we got along well and he was very knowledgeable with local spots and the history of the area
Art, thank you so much for your comment. We're so glad you enjoyed it.
Juli was well informed re Natural History and guided us to narrow ravines that it would have been difficult to navigate independently .Thrilling ride without risk. Colour of rocks accentuated by evening sun.
Thank you so much for your comment, Kate. The afternoon light is incredible in the Valley.
Incredible mountain biking experience! Juli was a fantastic guide. The location we explored was stunning, but I worry I might have gotten lost if I had ventured out on my own, as it was occasionally difficult to distinguish between actual trails and paths created by rainwater.
Thanks Stan! It was a great afternoon with you in the Valley. It's true that the paths have been washed away by the rains (part of the adventure, haha), thanks for trusting me to join you.
