A nice trip.

It’s a nice trip. Driver and tour guide are helpful and responsible. We traveled the beautiful lagoon and have a short hike. It’s a wonderful trip. Only pity is the tour guide seems doesn’t have a lot of professional knowledge and English need some improvement.

Thank you.

Camila and Nacho, thank you very much for this great day among friends. The truth is that it is nice to have a Guide and a driver like you who like their work and know how to convey it so well. They already have friends in the Canaries and Galicia. A hug, Celia and Javi.

Wonderful experience

Love the experience of visiting San Pedro de Atacama and taking tours with Denomades and Layana, we went to the salt flats route, moon valley and tatio geysers with them. I really learned a lot and marveled at the landscapes and photos I could make, but certainly nothing would have been the same without the spark and knowledge of the guides Andrea Carrasco and Manuel Moya, very friendly and cordial, besides the drivers Ariel and Cesar. 100% recommended!!!
