the best tour I had in Chile - Valle de la Luna is simply incredible! It was a wonderful experience and chance to see the incredible forms that nature can create in one afternoon as that was all the time I had! I particularly loved the bilingual format. It was much more than just a tour in two languages as it was a fun opportunity to learn some of the local language, almost like having a language class in the middle of the desert! The sunset was the perfect “icing on the cake” of the five hours trip, with delicious local specialities and a Pisco Sour, giving us another lovely insight into Chilean culture. None of this would have been quite the same without our great guide Anita, who was friendly and made even those of us travelling alone feel like we had a company! I really apreciate this. Our driver was also very kind. A truly memorable experience and definitely the best tour I had in Chile. Highly recommended for anyone curious to discover other countries, landscapes and cultures!

Walking on the moon - Exceptional vistas of moon-like dunes and rocky slopes on some nice short walks through the landscape, plus stunning views of the Andes volcanic peaks. Sunset viewing with pisco sours and lovely snacks. Very well guided.

An absolute highlights of my trip to Atacama! - The Valley of the Moon Stunning Sunset Tour completely lived up to its name, the views were out of this world! Anita was the sweetest and coolest guide we could have asked for. She is incredibly knowledgeable and kept us captivated with so many interesting facts about the landscape, history, and geology of the valley. Our driver Roland is a legend! He made the best guacamole we’ve ever tasted. The Sunset Spread: Watching the colors shift over the desert while enjoying a delicious charcuterie board loaded with local Chilean snacks, fresh fruits, and perfectly mixed pisco sours was sheer perfection. If you’re visiting San Pedro de Atacama, do not hesitate to book this tour. Unbeatable views, incredible food, and a top-tier team. 5/5 stars without a doubt!

Fantastic time in Valle De La Luna - Our guide, Anita made our Valle de la Luna tour truly unforgettable. She is exceptionally knowledgeable, genuinely funny, and took amazing care of our whole group from start to finish. Beyond covering the main highlights, she took us to a few incredible secret spots away from the crowds. To top it all off, we ended the day enjoying a fantastic Pisco Sour. If you are visiting Valle de la Luna, ask for Anita. Highly recommend!

Spectacular Moon Valley - Moon Valley Tour was a highlight of my stay for two reasons.. the spectacular landscapes and the jovial nature of the guide Anita and driver Andreas! The walks, views, the information shared (in 3 languages) and the travellers also made for the best tour. Oh, and the sunset with a Pisco Sour with fabulous food finished off the evening perfectly. Thankyou Pukurumi

Organization, punctuality, professionalism - I want to congratulate the whole team for the excellent organization and professionalism throughout the entire experience in Atacama. Everything was very well planned, with punctuality, attention, and high-quality service. I also want to give special recognition to Soraia, who made every excursion even more special with her friendliness, dedication, and knowledge. Her enthusiasm and the care she took with the whole group made the difference. Thank you very much for making this trip an unforgettable experience!
