It is a Geological and cultural Tour, which connects you with the land and its culture, its geology at its best that leads you to understand the land and its formation. Altitude 3500 masl. approx.
An essential excursion, a unique place in Latin America. It's worth waking up early, it's worth dressing up warm to weather the -10 degree temperatures. A wonderful environment that offers the opportunity to be very close to different types of geysers that very early in the morning offer impressive fumaroles. The tours that offer a breakfast there give a plus for being in an impressive place.
This expedition will also allow us to visit the petroglyphs of Hierbas Buenas of great historical importance based on rock art, where the Atacameño people left a vestige of their culture through these (place of great geological content).

The guide was very kind. He knew a lot about the subject. I usually travel alone so I spend my time chatting with the guides and asking questions because I am curious, and the truth is that he had the knowledge to answer any question about the history, geology of the place.
Fantastic landscapes. Incredible colors in the Rainbow Valley. Sergio was a great guide, full of knowledge and motivation. Everything was a perfect fit. The petroglyphs were also amazingly well preserved and interesting.
The guide Lorena is wonderful! The tour was very good and fun! Note 10!
It was a great experience. They must be prepared for wind so they must have the appropriate clothes. Eith these there is no problem
Tour that by the way is not very common among those who travel to Atacama but very well worth it! Beautiful views, a little history and empty places. It is not a long and tiring walk, it was very good! The guide was very friendly and polite
Very good guide Javier, in addition to having good knowledge when delivering the tour. Totally recommended ⛰️🫶🏼
Alex made a wonderful job! It was the best tour we did in San Pedro de Atacama. He has a huge knowledge and explained everything patiently in spanisch and english. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Alex, our guide was great! After picking up at the hotel, we went to a lookout point, then stopped briefly for a few Guanacos and then drove directly to Rainbow Valley. What a nature experience! <3 Alex has conjured up a delicious breakfast and explained to us a lot about the origin of the valley. Afterwards we went to rock drawings - what is exciting is that many generations have immortalized themselves here in the rock formations. Everything was great, I learned a lot!
It was a very good experience. Alex explained a lot of things and met my expectations. Alex did great as a guide, I give him a 10 out of 10.
Beautiful place to visit and hike with the guide. Learned a lot about the valley from the guide, breakfast is provided
