5.00We went on a tour of scenic antiplano lagunes and red rocks guided by Marlon. He is one of the most knowledgeable, kind and enthusiastic guides I have had in my many travels. This was a relatively long tour of 10 hours covering a lot of grounds. We learned about the flora and fauna of the areas with interesting details. Marlon suggested photo shots and was so patient taking photos of all of us in many locations. The breakfast and especially lunch were sooo delicious, nicely served in great spots. All and all, a memorable day in Atacama. Thanks Intipara, Marlon and team. PS: By the way, if you plan to take this tour, take warm clothes.
Excellent experience

5.00Very good experience. Thank IntiPara and especially Marlon, who with tremendous human quality and professionalism guided the entire tour. Always willing to answer questions and teach about history, fauna, flora and culture. An incredible tour: visit Laguna Chaxa, where you can see the three species of flamingos that live in Chile, in addition to Caitís, Baird Beaches and the Fabian Lizard. Also visited are the Miscanti and Miñiques Lagoons, Red Stones and the Tropic of Capricorn.
Perfect tour

5.00We had a great time visiting the piedras rojas - beautiful scenary all day long. Marlon was a fantastic tour guide - very friendly and knowledgeable. Our driver (I'm sorry I've forgotten the name) was also an expert at driving across the tricky desert terrain. The whole day ran smoothly from the well coordinated pick-up onwards. Breakfast and lunch exceeded expectations, I was surprised that they could fit everything in the minivan! I would definitely recommend to anybody visiting San Pedro de Atacama! Thank you for a fantastic experience.
Good experience, recommended tour

We had adequate times to enjoy and take pictures calmly. Breakfast and lunch were very rich, with inclusive options for everyone. In addition, the itinerary was fulfilled exactly as planned, which is greatly appreciated. In short, a tour highly recommended. We had a great time!

5.00From the hotel pick up we started quite well, very well organized. Full breakfast and lunch too. The guide Marlon who guided us on this tour, really very professional. The tour is in Spanish and English, Marlon manages to create a very pleasant atmosphere, always attentive to each tourist. The company is one of the best in terms of organization tour, fluid communication and care for the tourist.
Marlon, Best guide!

5.00Marlon hizo este viaje el mejor de todos los realizados en el desierto de Atacama. Excelente información, muy entretenido. Fue un disfrute hasta el último minuto. Marlon made this trip the best of all we've had time to experience. Amazing leader who provided interesting information, fun and engaged. None of us wanted to finish the trip when we got back to San Pedro.
The best tour I've ever had!

5.00I was pleased to have a tour with Marlon and it was the best tour we ever had! We loved that the guide explained many things with luxuries and details, you could tell that he loves what he does and shares all his knowledge. He cared at every turn about how we felt about height and had tools to help us in case we were affected. He also took some amazing pictures! 100% recommended!
