“Enjoyed the tour and our guide Patricio was great. Note the area you go to is different to the other hotter thermal pools elsewhere in San Pedro but was fun nonetheless. Although I'd recommend, I do think the cost of the tour needs to reduce to be better value for money for what it is.”

Review of Cerro Toco near San Pedro de Atacama, covering altitude, views, fitness demands, gear, price, timing, and practical booking tips.
“Gary was super friendly and helpful. We didn't realize this was a private tour, but that was great!

Review of Puritama Canyon and Guatin Trekking near San Pedro, with hot springs, highland culture, practical tips, pricing, and honest drawbacks.

Hike from Puritama through Atacama canyon scenery to warm pools on this small-group, five-hour nature tour from San Pedro.
“This was my first activity after arriving in San Pedro de Atacama. I’m glad I went with the group. Fortunately everyone was in similar condition and capability, so no long waits for people to catch up. The guide was helpful all along the way and she provided information of interest. You “could” do this on your own; the trail is pretty obvious so there’s little chance of getting lost. But having the transportation and guide was a good idea for me (solo, without a car).
