Your first stop in the Atacama should be Whipala Expedition! - When coming to San Pedro de Atacama, your first stop should be Whipala Expedition! We were lucky, we’d found them after an extensive search for the best tours in the area. They did not disappoint. Whipala Expedition has the best, knowledgeable, multilingual, and fun guides and selected tours. We loved Felipe and our rainbow valley tour the most. Each tour was well designed to highlight the beauty of this area. Transportation was on time, comfortable, and clean. Breakfasts and snacks were delicious with locally made breads, fresh fruits, meats/cheese, and selections of teas/cocoa/coffee. Additionally, the staff was wonderful! They helped rearrange tours for the best experience and were very knowledgeable with every question asked. We cannot speak highly enough of Whipala Expeditions! Come see for yourself!
