Great experience! Andrej was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and knew a lot of facts. Our group had mixed abilities in riding with a mountain bike but Andrej was brilliant at making sure everyone got the best experience. Was a great way to meet others and the ride in the evening allowed for some great sights and cool rides through some archways. Would highly recommend!

I could not have asked for a better guide. Andrej provided guidance on how to cycle efficiently; was knowledgeable about the area; and demonstrated passion and empathy during my tour. Furthermore, Andrej went out of his way to assist me during my stay in San Pedro.

Highlight of my trip! Juli is such a fantastic person beyond being your guide of the day! I arrived in jeans (bad idea) and juli was kind enough to lend me a pair of her shorts! 4 hours flew by with great conversation, landscapes and a lot of info about the history and flora and fauna of atacama desert. Totally recommend to everyone that is looking for an active way to explore the desert. Big hug to juli!

Awesome tour. Recommended

Stan_L, Feb 2026

Incredible mountain biking experience! Juli was a fantastic guide. The location we explored was stunning, but I worry I might have gotten lost if I had ventured out on my own, as it was occasionally difficult to distinguish between actual trails and paths created by rainwater.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thanks Stan! It was a great afternoon with you in the Valley. It's true that the paths have been washed away by the rains (part of the adventure, haha), thanks for trusting me to join you.

Highly recommended!!!

This was an amazing tour, I highly recommend! If you're looking for a unique tour or interesting way to explore the area around San Pedro, this is the one to book. I had a one on one tour with Andrej, the guide, because it was low season - he was super knowledgeable and stays at your biking pace (which I needed in the altitude :) and he provided lots of great recs for other activities to do in San Pedro.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thanks Collen for your lovely comment and for encouraging the adventure.

Great way to see the desert

This was the most unique bike tour for me 😀. Julia was great in sharing information about the geography and she was pleasant and caring throughout the tour. The level of difficulty was just right for me. I loved the immersive experience of riding through the Devil's Throat. I highly recommend Julia and this itinerary. 👌

Fantastic experience

Katrin_S, Nov 2025

It was a fantastic experience exploring the deserts on this route by bike. The rock formations are varied. Plus the play of light! Juli was a great guide. She gave explanations about nature and culture. She picked up my pace. I felt safe with her at all times. So I could enjoy the entire tour. The rented bike was super light. I recommend the tour with July 100%.
