5.00I did all my tours with this agency: valle del arcoíris, de la luna, piedras rojas, geysers, laguna Céjar and astronomical. I loved the knowledge that every tour guide had, from Cami, Pedro, Karla and Henri it was amazing, full of facts and data that surprised and always open to answer any questions. The meals that come with the tour are very complete and they are always on time and flexible to reschedule if possible. Would definitely recommend this

5.00If there is a place to see the most beautiful sky you can have is San Pedro de Atacama. I hired Atacama Extrema and went on the tour Una noche con Estrellas. Wonderful experience with introductory lesson, visualization of various celestial stars and astrophotography.
Very interesting
