Nata (our guide) and... - Nata (our guide) and Carlos (our driver) were exceptional hosts. Nata amazed us with her energy, thorough knowledge of the stops on the tour, and her precise timing that kept our group away from the crowds. She slipped seamlessly and tirelessly from Spanish to Portuguese to English. Carlos was a safe driver and an excellent breakfast chef. We had a great morning and would recommend this tour to anyone!!!

Great half day tour from San Pedro de Atacama - A great, easy walk through spectacular red, green and white hues with spectacular landforms and a chance to see amazing petroglyphs from some of Chilies original inhabitants. As a professional geologist I enjoyed the technical aspect of the rock formations and my wife loved the colors and land forms. A tour for all that we found much more interesting and fun than some of the more popular tours that cost a lot more.

The most colorful part of the desert! - This was in someways our favorite of the four tours we took from San Pedro. It started early in the morning, but was a five hour instead of 10 hour tour. The Rainbow Valley was the most spectacular thing we saw in the Atacama, though many other scenes in the desert were also amazing. The guide was great and made the visit to the petroglyphs very interesting and meaningful. It was a good combination with the Rainbow Valley.

Shame guide didn’t speak much English - Incredible scenery and nice breakfast. Although we booked for English speaking there was only a driver who spoke limited English and no separate guide.
