    Arrival in San Pedro de Atacama

    You'll arrive at El Loa Airport or the bus station and get picked up by your driver for the transfer to San Pedro de Atacama. The ride takes you straight to your hotel, and there's no rush to get there, so you can settle in whenever it works for you. By the time you're at your accommodation, you'll have a chance to get oriented and grab a bite if you're hungry.

    Start point
    Calama, Antofagasta, Chile (Transfer in/out in Calama - Airport or Bus station , 05:00 - 23:00)
  2. Day 2

    Moon Valley and Death Valley

    This morning you head out from the hotel to see the Cordillera de la Sal, starting at Valle de la Muerte where salt formations rise up like natural sculptures all around you. From there you move to Valle de la Luna to check out the mineral formations, including Las Tres Marías shaped by wind erosion over time. Later in the afternoon, you'll go to La Gran Duna and watch the sunset paint the dune in different colors as the day winds down.

    We had an amazing time in Chile. Patagonia, the people, abundant wildlife, weather, food, etc were all wonderful. We would definitely go with Aborigen Tours & Patagonia Planet again. Many thanks to Fernando, Thelma, Nadia, guides Paula & Angie, driver Carlos, and other transfer drivers. It is a trek to get to many of the places, but well worth the effort in this beautiful country.

    Asked on August 7th, 2024

    Can you please check the latest official entry requirements for traveling to Bolivia? I am seeing conflicting information online about things like Yellow Fever vaccination and COVID tests being needed. Can you confirm the exact documentation required to enter Bolivia for this trip? I want to make sure I have the right information.
