We took a walk in the afternoon. The day before the agency staff sends by whats the recommendations of what to wear and what to wear, it's great! The walk was light, with an amazing view. Our guide was Christopher, super attentive, with a mass energy, speaking slowly giving to understand the explanations well. The cocktail at the end is great, well prepared
From the arrival of the van, everything was very organized; they took us to very beautiful places, and our guide Isidora was excellent, explaining everything in great detail and providing quite interesting information; she even took some photos in the best spots. We also had a snack at a very beautiful viewpoint where we enjoyed watching the sunset 🙌🏻; I definitely recommend it as I really enjoyed the experience
The magic of the desert with its enigmatic beauty, extraordinarily guided by the friends from PUKARUMI
Professionalism since the hiring. Unique organization, logistics, communication, guides, drivers, vehicles, snacks... all great!
Excellent service to see beautiful landscapes. The guide Andrés is excellent!
Excellent half day tour. The views were one of a kind. And thank you to my tour guide. She is wonderful. Wear shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting sand on.
This was a very enjoyable tour and, for me, the perfect way to finish a trip to the Atacama Desert. The walk through Valle de la Luna was relaxed and easy-paced (for me 😉 ), allowing plenty of time to appreciate the unique landscapes and take in the beauty of the area. It was a great contrast to some of the more demanding excursions in the region. Our guide, Brandon, was very friendly, cheerful, and approachable. He seemed to take the time to chat with every participant, creating a welcoming and enjoyable atmosphere throughout the tour. He provided interesting explanations about the valley and its geology while also making sure there was enough time for photos and simply enjoying the scenery. Brandon was always happy to help with pictures and even helped hold people's belongings during the windy sections of the tour so that nothing would get blown away. These small gestures showed how attentive and considerate he was. The tour ended with snacks while enjoying the spectacular surroundings, which was a lovely way to conclude the experience. Overall, this was a well-organized and relaxing tour with a great guide. I highly recommend it as a wonderful way to end your time in San Pedro de Atacama.
Had a great time exploring the moon valley. Our guide Andres was very friendly and helpful explaining things, taking pictures of everyone, allowing a relaxed pace while still keeping us on time - incidentally he ended up being our guide for several experiences which was great! Our driver was great too driving on difficult roads. The tour company is very systematic communicating pick ups very well too. Would definitely recommend them for this and their other tours. The snack set up was pretty elaborate and good too!
Beautiful piece of nature.Parking spaces are a problem unless you park downstairs in the large parking lot, but then you have a serious walk up ....
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an excellent experience with the agency from the first contact to the completion of the tour. I would like to thank especially Jerónimo, who assisted me during the purchase of the tour. It was very helpful, clarified all my doubts and conveyed confidence throughout the booking process. The Tour to the Moon Valley exceeded my expectations. The organization was impeccable, the transportation comfortable and the route very well planned, allowing you to take the most advantage of one of the most impressive landscapes of Atacama. I also want to highlight the exceptional work of the guide Soraya. His technical, historical, cultural and geological knowledge of the region is impressive, and his explanations have made each stop much more interesting. In addition, she was extremely attentive to all participants and a fantastic photographer, always helping the group to record incredible moments in the best angles and scenarios. Congratulations to the entire team for the quality of service. Professionals like Jerónimo and Soraya make all the difference and turn a great ride into a memorable experience. I recommend the agency without any reservation and would definitely re-contract their services on a next visit to Atacama.
