  • B

    Bryan

    Asked on December 6th, 2022

    After visiting the Avaroa National Reserve, instead of returning to La Paz, would like to add a trip to San Pedro de Atacama in Chile to visit the Valley of the Moon and the flamincos (maybe 1 day), and then maybe return home via Santiago. Is that possible?

    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten December 2022

      We are unable to customize the itinerary and change it, we will have to follow as it is on the website. If you like to end the trip in a different city, that should be fine but you will have to book the extra tour on your own outside Contiki and there will be no rebate for the missing nights.

    Debra

    Asked on January 9th, 2022

    Is it possible to add a trip to rainbow mountain in this package?

    Tour Details
    • ContikiOperatorWritten January 2022

      Unfortunately Rainbow Mountain isn't included in this trip and it isn't available as a Free Time Add On, you would need to organise visiting Rainbow Mountain independently. It would be best to organise this before the trip begins rather than at the end, as the trip begins in Peru.

Can’t find the answer to your question?
