Norte Grande Tours & Trips
Can you imagine a place where the night sky looks almost unreal? In the Atacama Desert, stars fill the horizon above San Pedro, while Chaxa Lagoon reflects flamingos in shallow water. Valle de la Luna’s pale ridges feel almost lunar, and the geysers at El Tatio steam in the early morning cold. It’s stark, quiet country, but strangely memorable for reasons you won’t grasp, but will stay with you forever.

This 4 day tour exceeded all expectations, was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. The itinerary was well thought through and well paced, the tour guides and drivers were fantastic. They were knowledgeable, engaging and provided service way beyond previous tour experiences. The accommodation was well appointed, the room was spacious, comfortable and quiet. The hotel amenities were totally adequate. Would thoroughly recommend Gato Andino as the go to agency for their superior organisation and enjoyment provided.
