Excellent tour with the great guide Marlon, who organized everything neat and well, kept us informed from pick up time to geology and animal knowledge to precautions for the easy trekking, and kept checking on us and made sure we are fine. It was a pleasant day. Mucha gracias!

Excellent trip today with Marlon as a guide. He is absolutely exceptional with his knowledge and kindness and advice for everyone. He was also particularly good at explaining what we should do at altitude and how to cope and at always looking after us. I wasn’t particularly well and he called immediately the car to take me back to the bus hence giving me the opportunity of still visiting the beautiful place without worry. I really recommend this agency for all your tours in Atacama. Thank you team

The tour to Piedras Rojas was absolutely amazing and one of the best moments of my visit to Atacama. The scenery was spectacular from start to finish, and the whole day was very well organized, comfortable and pleasant. What really made the experience exceptional was our guide, Marlon. He's incredibly knowledgeable and you can clearly tell he loves what he does. His passion is reflected in the way he explains everything from animals and geology to the history, landscape and wider context of the Atacama. I was really impressed by everything you know and the naturalness with which you share it. Marlon was also very attentive, careful and very well prepared throughout the day, which made the tour feel professional and personal at the same time. The van was comfortable, and the breakfast and lunch we were prepared were absolutely delicious, much more than I expected on a full day tour. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend doing the tour to Piedras Rojas with this company. It was beautiful, informative, comfortable and truly memorable.

From the beginning of our experience, we were very well received and guided. The day before the tour, the guide Marlon created a group and already shared all the information, which left us quite calm. In the morning, the departure was super punctual and, throughout the journey, he was explaining everything lightly and interestingly — from the geology of the place to cultural curiosities and about the indigenous peoples. Gave to realize that he understands a lot of what he does! The breakfast was full and delicious. Then we head to the lagoons and the Red Stones. Marlon was very attentive all the time, taking toucas, oxygen, coke leaves and even conducting a breathing exercise with us — always taking care of the group’s well-being. The lunch was also a delight, with natural juices and a very good wine! And I can't help but highlight the driver, super punctual and competent. Certainly, the care and affection of this agency made all the difference on our tour. ☰

Wonderful tour. Marlon is a tremendous guide and Edwin an excellent driver and secondary guide. All very well organized, first class breakfast and lunch, excellent layout for photographs. In addition, we had a very happy group with Chilean compatriots and Brazilian, Spanish and Italian brothers. I recommend it 100%

Through the best guide of San Pedro de Atacama, namely Marlon, we could spend a day in the Chaxa, Miscanti and Miniques Lagoons. P

I had an amazing experience with this tour, largely thanks to my guide. I was the only person in the group who could only understand English, and even though the tour was mainly conducted in Spanish, he always took the time to come over after explaining to the group and make sure I understood everything. He patiently answered all my questions and went out of his way to share additional helpful information throughout the trip. I truly appreciate the extra effort he made — it meant a lot and made the whole experience much more enjoyable for me. Also, he’s fantastic at taking photos! Highly recommend this tour and especially this guide.

An excellent tour with an excellent tour guide, who brought great energy and knowledge to the entire tour. I felt that we got a lot of great experiences for our money in this full day tour. The altiplano is absolutely stunning and the two lagoons are beautiful - it's impossible to capture the sensation of that wild remote place in a photo. The Red Rocks were also spectacular and the visit to Chaxa Lagoon was a nice bonus at the end. Felipe and our driver (I'm sorry, I forget his name) gave us a very good breakfast, and then a really surprisingly good lunch, with a fully set table and stools laid out in a shady town square.
