Family - Excellent tour! I did it with my parents who are older adults and I highlight the concern for the guide Lucas, keeping the group together and waiting for them until the end in each tour. 10/10.

Delightful day in Baltinache - I took the Baltinache Lagoons trip. It is a fascinating area, and great to swim in a salt lagoon. The guide, Anita, was kind and funny and wonderful!

Staff and experience were fantastic! - I did two tours in a quick 12h taste of San Pedro Atacama. This was the better of the two tours! Not only did they wait for me as I had many flight delays, they communicated via WhatsApp very well. George was fantastic and made the trip feel less commercial. He spoke both Spanish and English and was very personable. Our driver Claude prevented a bigger issue by catching a problem with the van early versus later and being further away from help. We were switched to another pretty quickly. I actually enjoyed the delay as it gave me time to play with my drone (as you can’t while inside the park sadly). The lake (that you can swim in) was sadly smaller than I imagined but overall still a great experience from the staff to the floating and overall experience of a salt desert.

Wonderful walk! - I was fascinated by the lagoons! It is possible to enter one of them and not sink due to the salt, an incredible experience! The guide Francisca was wonderful, told various curiosities of the region and even took wonderful photos. At the end of the tour offer a very good snack, I loved the guacamole. Anyway, I highly recommend!
