サン・ペドロからのピエドラス・ロハス塩平野とアルティプランのラグーン

I want to preface this by saying I have never travelled in Chile so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The guide didn’t seem to spread her attention around the group. Focussing on only a few. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. The included meals were ‘ok’ and not very well organized in their set up.

Great experience in Atacama Desert Chile, see what we have expected, tour guide is very nice, excellent service by Viator

The colours and grandeur of the landscape were unparalleled but this you can see on any tour- what was unique was how the guides (Francesca and Lucas) went above and beyond to translate everything into English for us. They timed everything perfectly along the way and made sure to give us information before or after the main group on the side so it didn't interrupt the flow. Breakfast set up and take down was also accompanied by information so we were always interested and food was great (set up a table of pre-prepared items parked up with spectacular desert views/ the Tropic of Capricorn). It was much more informative than tours we have recently been on (in Peru) so I may have to rethink how I rank other tours :)

It was a very long day. However, our guide Jay was absolutely amazing. She took a lot of time to explain things to the group in multiple languages. Her knowledge of the animals, plant's, and terrain; is very extensive. I would 100% recommend Jay as a guide.

The best tour in the Atacama desert, it looks like a painting with no flaws... from photos and videos we don't have the size of the volcanoes and lagoons

My experience in the Atacama Desert was breathtaking. The arid landscape, with its vibrant colors and the turquoise waters of Laguna Caliente, created a surreal setting. It was an unforgettable journey, surrounded by the raw natural beauty of the desert.

An absolutely beautiful day out. The lagoons are stunning and the colours and geology at Piedras Rochas is amazing. Definitely worth a trip. Look out for wildlife and bird life along the way as well as amazing plants (we visited in spring which made it more spectacular). Each of the sites is community run and restricts visitor numbers to preserve the places. You need to buy a ticket beforehand (the website isn't the easiest to use) and then check in at various range stations. The rangers are really helpful and the sites are beautifully taken care of - the toilets are amazing, something other tourist destinations in other countries could certainly learn from!! The peace, tranquillity and amazing colours make these sites a delight.
