Starry night
This is an amazing experience. To be able to see so many stars and learn do much with such a short ride. 5 min from San Pedro de Atacama.
Gus was amazing could speak Spanish, English, Portuguese and French so well with the perfect accent and was so enthusiastic!
The only thing that wasn't great is that the message before the tour warn us to be punctual and we were waiting for a long time without communication. The other tours usually created a WhatsApp group and share a location of the pick-up van along the pick-up time window and this one didn't. We had to reach out and ask where they were. Minor detail and didn't spoil our fun!
