Atacama Desert Tours & Trips
Imagine yourself gazing up at the night sky in the Atacama Desert, where the stars, nebulae, and galaxies are brilliantly visible, a result of some of the clearest skies on the planet. Moon Valley, with its distinctive salt formations and the reddish landscape that shifts hues at sunset, feels otherworldly. A visit to the Tatio Geysers at dawn offers a spectacular show of steam plumes erupting from the ground as the sun begins to climb.

Overall experience was good--the tours were excellent, as were all the guides. All was well-organized and communicated well. Only downside is I was a solo traveler, and more often than not the only English speaker, which was very isolating.

Everyone helpful and most tours interesting although latterly a bit repetitive - a salt lake is a salt lake is a salt lake. A lot depends on the other people on these tours and I was mostly lucky. It would have have been interesting to have had more exposure to the indigenous people and their culture and also the old town at Tula

A very well paced tour. Usually 3 to 7 people in the group. All tour guides were excellent. The hotel I stayed at was very good, four stars. I would recommend everyone bring a good camera as the various tours take you to very photogenic spots. I also brought a tripod so I could do some night photography during the stargazing.
