Beautiful - don't underestimate!

Shohini_G, Nov 2024

Gary was super friendly and helpful. We didn't realize this was a private tour, but that was great! The altitude made this super challenging, even for 2 late 20s individuals who are pretty consistent about working out. Felt like we were stepping so slowly and yet can barely breathe! We ascended in about ~1 hr 30 mins, and descended in ~40, with some brief acclimation time at the start and rest at the top, total time was 3.5 hrs, which seems to be a little faster than average. Definitely take any anti-altitude sickness and remedies in advance... we underestimated that and got sick on the way back / had a persistent headache. The view is unbelievably spectacular though. If you're looking for a more challenging excursion, this would be it.

Atacama Views

This has been the highlight of our vacation so far. This is an amazing hike - it is not a difficult trail but the altitude makes it very hard, but the views are worth it. Our guide Gary was great, he made sure we prepared for our hike beforehand so that we did not get altitude sickness and taught us a lot about the area. He also made timed our hike to avoid a storm that was coming in on the top of the volcano. Over all this is a must do if you enjoy a strenuous, but not too long of a hike (took us a little over 3 hrs).
