Jorge Matus - The best tour guide!

5.00Quima Expediciones gave us an unforgettable volcano hike in San Pedro. Jorge Matus was an exceptional guide—friendly, thoughtful, and incredibly supportive. He prepared a delicious breakfast with beautiful views, gave us a goody bag, and took great photos. When altitude sickness hit me hard, Jorge guided me with patience, breaks, encouragement, and humor. Thanks to him, I made it to the top and bottom. Best guide in the Atacama!

5.00I did the trekking to Cerro Toco and I just have to thank the guide Charlie. The walk is well pulled and tiring, but he was always asking if everything was okay and encouraging me, in addition, as a solo traveler, I felt super safe and cared for. I was fascinated by Charlie’s great respect for the mountain and nature and it really is a privilege to be there. I highly recommend and will come back other times! Thank you for everything!
The best tour to do in Atacama

5.00The experience was amazing. First the guide Jorge makes a meeting a few days before to check the clothes and give all the necessary guidance for the day of the climb to the hill. On the day of the rise, the guide gave all prior attention to all participants, including the provision of equipment. The agency provides a snack kit for consumption during the tracking. During the entire rise and descent of the volcano, the guide did an exceptional job, giving support and dedicated attention to everyone in the group, especially those who had indisposition due to the altitude. I have only positive points, from the experience with the guide and his agency to the experience with the rise to the volcano, which is something indescribable, not easy, but very worth it.

5.00Wonderful experience! The guide came to the hostel to make a meeting a few days before and explained everything (clothes, route, temperature, what to eat the day before and the day of the track...) and removed all our doubts. On the day of the trail he was super careful and attentive. I recommend for those who want the best experience!
Amazing!

5.00The experience was amazing! Our guide, Jorge, was super requested, made a meeting a few days before to pass us important information of safety, food and clothing. On the day of the rise, he helped us with everything we needed, answered all our questions not only about the walk, but also worried about our health throughout the journey. I highly recommend to everyone who wants an unforgettable trekking experience
