Additional Information

The Valley that we will visit is wonderful, due to its history, its geological formations and the passage of the San Pedro River, which makes this Valley a true oasis in the desert.
I believe that touring the landscapes riding a bicycle makes the adventure have a unique flavor.
We will enter the Catarpe Valley through El Carmen so that you can see the magnitude of the Valley and you will have an incredible postcard of Pukará de Quitor. We will tour the Valley at the pace that you indicate so that you can vibrate the landscapes, and can feel part of them. The great adventure in our activity will be descending the Devil’s Throat, this is something that definitely highlights our proposal from the others you can see. This will not be difficult at all and very fun.
I hope I can guide you in this experience, that you can self-discover and enrich yourself with this adventure that I want to share with you.
Our fundamental idea is that they enjoy it, that they go beyond their limits and let themselves be guided in the adventure.

Location
Caracoles & Toconao

Wow! Andrej, our guide, provided an amazing experience - Our guide Andrej was a very experienced cyclist. You could tell Andrej was not only attentive, but caring, as soon as we sized up the bikes. He made sure our bikes were in good condition and made sure the bike was adjusted to each of our measurements. My wife was at first hesitant on the bike and he did an amazing job making her feel capable and confident. The tour lets you get some good exercise while learning about the topography and enjoying the amazing scenery. We parked our bikes and hiked about 15 minutes to a stunning summit. Throughout the ride Andrej was not only our tour guide, but also our photographer. I gave him my phone and he took terrific photos and videos

Bike Tour with Julia - Beautiful trip with dear Júlia. We went to a park that is not very popular with tourists, a peaceful place full of wonderful views. The Devil's Throat was the highlight of the tour. You don't need to be a big cyclist, but you know how to pedal and want a different adventure in the desert. Light clothing and lots of water make a difference. I recommend this tour with Júlia, a former top athlete.

Bike tour in San Pedro - The bike trip offered by Julia allows you to get to know a really beautiful place next to the San Pedro River. It should be a must-see for visitors to San Pedro de Atacama with energy and enjoyment of adrenaline. Our guide Julia was very nice and kind as well as knowledgeable about the track.

Unmissable tour - The tour positively surprised me, I thought it was going to be a boring bike ride and it had everything, anyone can do it, but the route has options for all levels, the less experienced can choose between walking or climbing an intermediate level slope , the same with the descents and other trails inside the devil's throat. The weather was pleasant at all times, it was preferable to do it early to avoid the afternoon sun. The landscapes are surreal, with geological formations that can only be seen there. Take into consideration that you are pedaling at altitude and there is a lot of dust in the air, be well hydrated and rested, as it is more than 20km long, with an elevation of just 500 meters but it is still challenging. If you like enduro, do not hesitate to rent a bike with double suspension, you will undoubtedly enjoy the segments that lend themselves to going fast and taking a little more risk much more, all the difficult areas have a parallel version for beginners that is not dangerous at all. The guide knows the terrain and the best places on the route very well, it is not worth doing it without a guide and without a doubt Julia's patience and attitude makes it much more beautiful Safety pin!!!

Awesome day seeing the desert on 2 wheels - Made a core memory of a lifetime mountain biking in the desert. Julio is the best guide. she knows the best spots to bring us and is ever helpful and accommodating. To see a beautiful place is one thing. To see it in beautiful company who knows it inside out is another. Must do in Atacama. I can’t wait to go back.
