5.00The trip was well organized. Bus comfortable, and breakfast and lunch good especially with the vegetarian options. Ivan was a great guide and gave a lot of good information and facts about the flamingoes and various animals we saw enroute. Danny was a careful driver and played good music. It was a fun trip and I’d definitely recommend it.
Had a great tour with Belo Horizonte

5.00Fran was a great tour guide and Raul was a great driver with Belo Horizonte! Fran texted us details of the hotel pickup the night before and kept us posted throughout. Raul was a very professional driver. Fran shared numerous facts about the flora and fauna of the sites we were seeing in the car which we appreciated because then we could explore the places ourselves when we reached. She was also willing to take many group pictures. She also previewed the day for us as we went. One of the best tours I took in Atacama.

5.00We had a wonderful day. Our passionate wildlife and geology guide Yvan gave us plenty of information throughout the tour and also provided us with binoculars and binocles for observation. The organization of breaks, setting up breakfast and lunch were perfect. We made a second trip: the geyserTatio excursion with Yvan , just as perfect , professional and rich in discovery. I highly recommend this agency and our guide Yvan.
Great tour and great guide

5.00Today I was on a trip with Horizonte and I have to tell that it was perfectly planned. Ivan who is a guide is incredible, I've received many informations which have been super fascinating. During the trip I didn't have any bad impresion. If you want to see a part of Atacama Desert and also have great time, Horizonte is a right choice!
