Trekking and a rewarding swim.
Good walk. A short trek, not demanding despite being at about 3,000 meters above sea level. At the end, some warm water pools, to bathe and relax. Well taken care of by the agency and a good guide

Cute Trekking
Excellent trekking and finally being able to bathe in the river with hot springs is a plus!!!

A great introduction to the area
This was my first activity after arriving in San Pedro de Atacama. I’m glad I went with the group. Fortunately everyone was in similar condition and capability, so no long waits for people to catch up. The guide was helpful all along the way and she provided information of interest. You “could” do this on your own; the trail is pretty obvious so there’s little chance of getting lost. But having the transportation and guide was a good idea for me (solo, without a car). Note: The “hot springs” at the end was more luke-warm. It was refreshing and fun to get in, especially under the waterfall, but don’t expect thermal pools that you’ll want to soak in for an extended period. Need: Water, maybe a snack, sunscreen, sturdy footwear, swim suit and towel (you’ll change outdoors under the towel).

Very dynamic and helpful guide. Amazing and very interesting places.
The tour was Rota dos Salares. We were very well guided and welcomed by the driver Gustavo and the guide Marta. Very dear and always attentive to the needs of the group. With great courtesy, Marta showed all her knowledge about the places visited and was available at all times. Very pleased with the experience.

TREKKING PURILIBRE
It was an incredible trekking to Pura Libre with our great guide Styven Olortiga, dynamic, professional, attentive, always giving information of the flora and fauna, we gave many valuable tips for the mountain and hiking. I took pictures of many angles in many places, recommended poses and reminded us to always look around. If you have the chance to be guided by him, don't miss the chance.
