What are people saying about San Pedro de Atacama

Full Day Tour to Piedras Rojas, Altiplanic Lagoons and Chaxa

Gisselle_C, Oct 2026

This was worth it!

I enjoyed my experience with Pukarumi Travel. The morning pickup was prompt. Even if we went to many places, I did not feel rushed. The tour took us to some of the best sights, ideal for travelers short on time. The Chaxa Lagoon was the best for me, beautiful sight and flamingos for little effort. Timely reminders on Whatsapp were valuable. Cheers to guide Brandon who can speak Spanish, Portuguese and English. I’m grateful to guide Walter who patiently encouraged me to manage the high elevations of Piedra Rojas. The high altitude was a bit tough for me. The rest in my group were perfectly fine. So I was the exception. The driver took care of the smooth ride. Don’t worry about bathroom breaks. There will be enough stops for you to take care of business.

Must visit when visiting San Pedro. Pick up and drop off process was easy. Got to see all the highlights and photo spots in the valley of the moon. Tour was very organized. Alexander was very knowledgeable and a joy to be part of the group. Highly recommend for all that visit San Pedro!

The Roofless Experience: Premium stargazing San Pedro de Atacama

Jeremy_T, Oct 2026

Wonderful and memorable experience

Jonathan and Hugo provided a very special and memorable night for us! We knew from other reviews that we were in for a good time. But the experience exceeded those expectations, as we were treated to an education on star formation and life cycle. The observation of celestial objects built progressively over the time there, ending with a wonderful climax. I won't spoil the details, but it was all very well done! For visitors reading this, I suggest allowing yourself a couple days margin of error if possible. Our original booking date had to be canceled on the day of as the weather forecast did not cooperate, with cloudy skies. Fortunately we were here for an extra day and night in case that happened, and they were able to reschedule us for the following night. It worked out for the best as we ended up being treated to perfectly clear skies and a beautiful experience. Highly recommend to all visitors to San Pedro to Atacama!

Jasmine_H, Aug 2026

Stunning tour of the Altiplano

This tour was incredible - my favourite day in the Atacama! The pick up was well organized, and the guide, assistant and driver were all wonderful. Every sight that we visited was so beautiful - I wished we could stay at each place for twice as long! We saw so much wildlife, and the natural landscapes were stunning. Bring some of your own food, because it's a while before you get breakfast and then a long time until lunch! Do also be prepared for cold weather, mostly due to wind. The guide Lorena was so knowledgeable and delivered the tour in Spanish, English and Portuguese. She also answered so many questions, and we had so much fun as a group! I went as a solo traveller and chatted with lots of people.

Go with the Flow

Mother nature decides whether you will see the Milky Way or not. This company very efficiently let us know that the sky would be cloudy and the tour had to cancel. Of course, they offered the full refund and made it easy with a link to do so or the option to reschedule. I was unable to reschedule due to the length of my holiday, but I decided to donate the cost of the excursion to the Milky Way via this organization! Go to ATACAMA DESERT!

Uyuni Saltflat from San Pedro de Atacama ROUNDTRIP or ONE WAY to Uyuni

Victor_H, Jul 2026

Amazing views and great guide and driver

We took the 3D/2N trip. It was so good. I have never seen any landscape that is more beautiful than this. The guide Wilson and the driver Hugo was the highlight of our trip. They were so friendly and funny that made the whole trip so much better. The rooms were quite cold and the food was good most of the days, but it was all worth it with the beautiful landscapes and the amazing guide and driver. Thanks again to Wilson and Hugo. I can only recommend this trip.

Half Day Tour to Geysers del Tatio

Amanda_P, Apr 2026

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!

Full Day Tour to Geyser del Tatio, Vado Putana and Machuca

Adriana_R, Apr 2026

An unforgettable experience in every way!

Visiting El Tatio Geysers was one of the most precious moments of our honeymoon. We arrived before sunrise - on Valentine’s Day, no less - and watching the steam rise into the cold morning air as the first light appeared was completely mystical. Being there so early meant we experienced the geysers at their most dramatic, with powerful plumes of steam illuminated by the soft dawn light. The landscape felt raw, ancient and almost otherworldly. Our guide, Alex, was exceptional. He has been leading this tour for years and his knowledge, passion and genuine warmth truly elevated the experience. He shared fascinating insights about the geothermal activity and the surrounding Andean ecosystem, answered every question with enthusiasm and made us feel completely at ease. He is also an excellent and very reassuring driver - something you deeply appreciate on those early mountain roads. Despite the cold, we were treated to a wonderful picnic breakfast prepared by Alex, which felt incredibly special in such a setting. The tour was also impressively well-organised, with timely pick-up and drop-off at our hotel, and the use of WhatsApp for all communications - before, during and after the trip, including sharing photos - was incredibly convenient and much appreciated. An unforgettable experience in every way!

Hidden lagoons of Baltinache

David_B, Apr 2026

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.

Llama Stargazing Tour

Agnidhar_A, Apr 2026

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
