Private Tours & Trips in Atacama Desert
Want more flexibility? Our private Atacama tours let you set the pace over 4 days with your own guide and driver from Calama Airport. You'll stay at upscale spots like Hotel Cumbres and time your visits perfectly - like seeing Cejar Lagoon when the light's just right and having drinks served at Licarantay Lookout for sunset. Our customers tell us having their own guide makes a huge difference, especially when learning about local geology and spotting wildlife. The 7-day option adds some special touches like the secluded Baltinache Lagoons and warm soaks in Puritama's thermal pools, with plenty of time to take photos and really explore each spot.
