With a good guide, one can reach the end of the world!

Patricia, star walker, Samuel, Iván, Antonio, and so many others, you have made my vacation an adventure, turning the ordinary into something special! May the desert be warm rather than arid; and that is why I will always keep a fond affection for you. This trip to the end of the world became a journey without borders, and it was all thanks to you, guides and drivers, you are the ones who make the difference, overflowing with humanity and curiosity, you have transmitted it to me, and you have all my heart and appreciation! Hopefully next year I will repeat and bring my nephews; so they can understand that the horizon has no limits 🫶🫶🌈 Antonio from Jaén

All amazing and above expectations

The Van da Horizonte picked us up at our hostel, the guide Ivan explained various curiosities of the Atacama, volcanoes, culture, soil and history along the way. The trail was very quiet with Ivan giving breaks at all times with explanations. And the landscape more viewed, are wonderful. At the end of the tour, the driver Dani prepared for us at the end of the tour a wonderful breakfast with coffee, fruits, juice, bread and candy. The journey from start to finish was perfect.

Impossible to adjust for travel problems. No answer to multiples messages,calls, etc. Very frustrating.

Operator response

Dear Mr. Jay Spitzen and Carrie Salinger, We understand your frustration, but you contacted us late at night, and at that time the tour operation was already finished and ready, and customer service had already ended. Had you contacted us during the day and with more advance notice, we certainly would have fulfilled your request. Thank you, Horizonte Turismo.
