Enjoy a thoughtfully crafted and flawlessly executed journey from San Pedro de Atacama, designed to immerse you in one of the most extraordinary regions on Earth. Travel across the breathtaking landscapes of the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna Reserve, where colorful lagoons, high-altitude deserts, geysers, and unique wildlife create a constantly evolving and unforgettable scenery, before reaching the vast white expanse of Uyuni. This is not just a journey — it is a fully private and personalized experience, curated to match your rhythm and expectations. Along the way, you will connect with the authentic spirit of the Altiplano, discovering local communities, traditions, and the quiet beauty of Bolivian life, far from the ordinary. Every detail is carefully designed to ensure comfort, exclusivity, and a deep sense of place — transforming your trip into a truly meaningful and memorable experience.

Seeing the Atacama Desert at its most dramatic is well worth the early start involved on a small-group morning tour of El Tatio. Watch columns of steam rise from the geothermal field against the Andes, before stopping in the high-altitude village of Machuca to break up the return journey. Even better—hotel pickup means you can leave the pre-dawn driving to someone else.

Who could have imagined that in a desert it is possible to find so much water and such beautiful places? The region of Hiddens Laggons (Lagunas Escondidas) de Baltinache is a true oasis. A majestic setting rich in colors, sensations and of course – water. Altogether there are seven incredibly transparent saltwater lagoons. Needless to say, it is practically impossible to sink there, as the salinity of the water is very high. The Hidden Lagoons are located at an altitude of 2,400 meters and temperatures range from 5ºC to 30ºC. The route is all demarcated by stones, the objective is to preserve open nature, so that other people can also enjoy the beauties of the place. Nothing more fair, right?

Starglamg Wild Glamping in San Pedro de Atacama offers a unique night break in the desert under a star-studded sky. Guests will enjoy an exclusive tent for two with a cozy bed and access to relaxing wellness spa treatments. The experience includes a guided sunset hike through stunning natural formations, a gourmet dinner under the stars, an astronomical talk and telescope observations with expert guides, breathtaking sunrise views and a delicious breakfast, ensuring a memorable desert retreat.

The land of water and fire. The heat generated by the active volcanoes of the region warms the underground waters. In contrast with the freezing temperatures of the surface, generous amounts of water vapor are produced. The result is a true spectacle of nature. A geothermical field with hundreds of geysers whose eruption throws bolling water and vapor to about 10 meters high. We arrive to the region before sun rise, reason why the temperatures could reach -20ºC, besides the fact that we will be at over 4.000 meters above sea level. That is why we recommend a night of full rest the day before and very warm clothes.

This 4-day tour of the Atacama Desert takes the planning and guesswork out of exploring the region’s highlights. Your guide accompanies you to the otherworldly landscape and salt caves at Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley), vibrantly colored red rock formations Chaxa Lagoon, and off-the-beaten-track sites that you might miss on your own. All transportation is included with daily hotel pickup and drop-off, so you can choose your own accommodation and meals to suit your tastes.
