Great day!
Had a great time exploring the moon valley. Our guide Andres was very friendly and helpful explaining things, taking pictures of everyone, allowing a relaxed pace while still keeping us on time - incidentally he ended up being our guide for several experiences which was great! Our driver was great too driving on difficult roads. The tour company is very systematic communicating pick ups very well too. Would definitely recommend them for this and their other tours. The snack set up was pretty elaborate and good too!

Travel tour Great, Viator not
The Valley of the Moon tour with Whipala was great! The guide was engaging and funny. However, Viator said it was at 4pm, sent tickets that said 4 pm, but we just happened to go to the tour guide office the day before to ask about another tour and incidentally learned the tour was really at 2:30!!! They had the summer time listed for the winter tour!

Magical experience
We cannot rate the experience highly enough. From start to finish, Jonathon put so much effort into making the night as magical as possible. The sky itself was beautiful, but everything was so thought through on the tour that it made the experience perfect. Jonathon and his wife went to extra care to ensure our allergies were taken care of and that my partner was kept safe. The snack boards were delicious, as was the wine. Jonathon is clearly very passionate and extremely knowledgeable. It was a privilege to be able to listen to him speak about the stars and learn so much whilst gazing at the beautiful views. Each of us got plenty of time to use the telescopes, it wasn’t rushed and Jonathon wanted to make sure that we had all seen everything. The whole night ran seamlessly. It was magic and memorable from start to finish.

We would give 6 stars if we could! We absolutely loved this tour and our tour guide Manuel. The tour was timed out perfectly and Manuel was very knowledgeable and engaging. Plus, all of the locations were absolutely gorgeous. We’d definitely recommend this tour!

Amazing experience from start to finish.
Amazing experience from start to finish. The landscapes were absolutely unreal — Piedras Rojas, the Altiplanic Lagoons, and Chaxa Lagoon all felt unique and breathtaking in different ways. Seeing flamingos in such beautiful surroundings was a highlight. The tour was very well organised, the guide was excellent, and there were plenty of opportunities to enjoy the scenery and take photos. Definitely one of the best tours we did in Atacama and highly recommended.

Had a great time.
Amazing trip. Had to wake up early, but it was absolutely worth it. The geysers at sunrise were incredible and the landscapes felt surreal. The guides were friendly and everything was well organised. Definitely one of the highlights of our Atacama trip and highly recommended for anyone visiting San Pedro de Atacama.

Great morning out! Delicious breaky.
Great half day tour to the geysers with Pukarumi tours. Our guide was Aslye and she was excellent - knowledgable, friendly, and was able to answer lots of questions. She also was very firm about the importance of being respectful to the animals which we really liked. And when cara were speeding past us at the flamingo lagoon she was signalling to them to slow down - also appreciated this! The breakfast was top notch - best scrambled eggs that I have had in 3 months in South America. Delicious fresh bread, avocado, fruit and coffee. (Also meat, cheese and cake which I didn’t have).
The geysers were beautiful - really worth the early rise. I have been to geysers in NZ and Iceland and Bolivia and thought these were fabulous.
Also shout out to Brian, our very safe driver. And to Walter who cooked the tasty eggs!

Good Experience
The tour was well organized, fun, informative, and efficient. We had a great start to the day by having a breakfast with a view. Once we arrived to the lagoons, spent a brief 20 minutes to swim in the first one which is the only lagoon where you can swim. The water was freezing cold, but with a beautiful turquoise color. Our guide Andres and driver Aldo were great. Andres was communicative in both English & Spanish, friendly and patient with everyone, and took as many pictures/videos as requested. 2 of the 7 lagoons were decent size, the rest fairly small/underwhelming.
I would recommended this tour if you have a half day to spare in San Pedro and haven't seen anything like it before.

Excellent tour for stargazing
Excellent experience for stargazing 🔭 along with the telescope viewing of the stars and the moon especially was really fascinating . They even took some great astrophotography shots of all of us and serves us drinks / snacks . The guide explained all things in detail as best as he could about stars and other things related to space so the entire group could follow. Definitely recommend this company when you’re in San Pedro de Atacama. Only thing to note is when the intensity of the moon is brighter, you may not be able to see many stars at night and your photo Astro photo might not be as great compared to a night without moonlight. So if this matters to you as well, please do check the lunar calendar for e moon cycles before booking this activity

Nata (our guide) and...
Nata (our guide) and Carlos (our driver) were exceptional hosts.
Nata amazed us with her energy, thorough knowledge of the stops on the tour, and her precise timing that kept our group away from the crowds. She slipped seamlessly and tirelessly from Spanish to Portuguese to English.
Carlos was a safe driver and an excellent breakfast chef.
We had a great morning and would recommend this tour to anyone!!!

An awesome experience of stars, planets and the moon!
A truly awesome experience - at first we were a little disappointed that the moon was so bright we wouldn’t see the ‘Milky Way’ but in the end that didn’t matter as the narrator gave a really interesting explanation of the cosmos and the mind blowing numbers behind what we could see with our eyes which was even better when the telescope itself exposed the true beauty of the night skies. Champagne provided for our honeymoon (I still don’t know how they found out) helped finish the tour as a once in a lifetime visit to Atacama for us. Thank you for making so much effort into the tour.

Stargazing is a MUST-do when in The Atacama!
The Atacama is known for its dark skies and astronomical observatories. So getting out to see the southern night sky is a mist-do. I’m glad I picked this tour. Good transportation and communications, and Rodrigo is an excellent guide. He’s super knowledgeable, having written books on the subject. He started with stargazing with the “naked eye” and telling us lots of interesting stories, before taking us to see several celestial objects up close through professional telescopes. Rodrigo speaks slowly and clearly, and took time to answer questions. Note that it gets COLD out at night (even in mid-December) so bring layers. They provide blankets as well. At the end he shares wine, coffee, hot chocolate and a variety of sweet and savory snacks which are enjoyed around a campfire. We were picked up after midnight and arrived back at the hotels in town about 30 min later.
