Mindblowingly beautiful! - We had such a memorable day on this tour! Our guide Giuli was super friendly, approachable, and had an impressive amount of knowledge of the surrounding environment and the animals that inhabit it. We learnt a lot from her! The areas we visited were mindblowingly beautiful and we were given plenty of time to explore and soak it all in. Transport to and from was punctual, comfortable and safe. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting San Pedro. Truly a must-do! You won’t regret it!

The best of Atacama - Wonderful tour. We saw flamingos, beautiful lagoons surrounded by reddish rocks. Guide Giulia is always careful, with vast knowledge and very dedicated. Driver Eric made us feel safe during the almost 500km round trip. Great breakfast and lunch.

Gorgeous! Packed day, great food - Gorgeous! Must-do trip from San Pedro. Very complete -- we did a lot in the day. Felt a little rushed by the guide at points, but again, it was a very complete day. Guide was great in recounting history, geography, and geology, but didn't know as much about birds. Breakfast was good, and lunch was terrific, genuinely really good (for us vegetarians). Communicative through whatsapp. Great trip!

6 days in Atacama - It was a very good experience! We closed the tours in person and were very well attended to by the entire store team. We took 6 tours and they were all on time. Van picked us up at our accommodation at the scheduled times. The highlight was the excellent support from the guides Francisco (Chicão) and Lorena (Lolo) and the driver David. They made the experience light and very rich in information. It was really fun and we felt safe and relaxed.

On time for pickup breakfast and lunch very goo. LoLo our guide OUTSTANDING. FUN day. - This was a fantastic day. The bus was punctual in picking me up at my hotel in town. LoLo our guide was so full of energy. She made us feel like family. The stops were stunning and she was very informative about the area and so helpful. There was a nice family with 2 small daughters and LoLo kept them entertained. Best tour guide company in San Pedro de Atacama. I will be back.

Among the must-sees in Atacama - Also a tour that should not be missed in Atacama. Full day, at high altitude, windy and very cold. So get ready. The landscapes are beautiful, they make for great photos and, of course, contact with scenes you can't even imagine. I took all the tours in Atacama with Pukarumi Agency and had nothing but praise. Nice, knowledgeable, attentive guides; competent drivers; good vehicles and very competitive prices, especially if you sign a combo. The food services included in the tours (desayuno, snack, brunch, etc.) were all great. Previous contacts were made via WhatsApp and I obtained all the necessary clarifications. There were tour cancellations due to excessive wind, but they promptly made adjustments within the period we were there. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful places - Landscapes are incredible and the guide was very good! Our guide was Marlon, he explained a lot about the places and answered all our questions. Some people felt unwell because of the altitude and he was very attentive! We loved the day!

Unforgettable - We had an incredible experience with our guide Marlon and driver Júlio. The places are beautiful and we received a real lesson about the landscape, the animals we encountered along the way, such as vicuñas, llamas and flamingos. In addition to the wonderful photos that Marlon himself took of us! Unforgettable tour, highly recommended!
