What To Expect

Valle Arcoiris

An essential excursion, a unique place in Latin America. It's worth waking up early, it's worth dressing up warm to weather the -10 degree temperatures. A wonderful environment that offers the opportunity to be very close to different types of geysers that very early in the morning offer impressive fumaroles. The tours that offer a breakfast there give a plus for being in an impressive place.

Rainbow Valley is amazing

The Rainbow Valley trip was amazing, with so many colorful views of rocks. The dry waterfall was unforgettable. The Yerbas Buenas Petroglyphs reminded us of our human history and culture on the South American continent. The guide, Javier, was nice, experienced, and knowledgeable. He prepared a delicious breakfast for us. I highly recommend Whipala Expedition, the tour company that organized this trip. They provided clear instructions before the trip and communicated with me promptly. I even added more trips with them during my stay in San Pedro de Atacama. Their staff were professional and respectful. I enjoyed all the trips very much.

I really enjoyed this trip. Alex, the guide, was incredibly knowledgeable and informative. The location was very pretty and it was nice to just take a stroll in the peaceful scenery. My favorite part was seeing the petrogylphs and learning about the culture of the people who made them. I'm glad I had the opportunity to take this tour. And just in case you were wondering, the provided breakfast included hot drinks, bread, some eggs, some meats, and a couple other things.
Great place, so much...
