 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. +8We did four Atacama Connection tours with Pedro and Fabi, and it was a fantastic experience. Pedro was a very organized guide who set up a WhatsApp group to share detailed information about the tours, including pickup schedules and real-time tracking. It was also a great way for everyone to share photos along the way.

Pedro was also incredibly personable. Even with a group of 16/18 people, he made a point of checking in with everyone and connecting with the entire group. He did a brilliant job translating in both English and Spanish and was extremely knowledgeable about the history and geology of the Atacama Desert. He also had a fabulous playlist that he happily shared with the group, which added an extra touch to the experience.

Fabi was a wonderful driver and chef, making the tours even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this fantastic duo!

Note: We sadly missed the Piedras Rojas and Geysers del Tatio tours due to weather conditions and the closure of the high-altitude parks. We’ll just have to come back! Thankfully the agency arranged another fantastic tour of Machuca 🦩 + Purilibre  🌾 . Many thanks to Cris for guiding this trip too - super friendly and helpful!

Choosing to explore the Atacama Desert with Atacama Connection was my best decision. Everything was perfect from beginning to end. Felipe, our guide, and Fabian, our driver, took excellent care of us. We learned so much. We shared stories, laughed, and even danced, all amidst breathtaking scenery. An incredible experience with wonderful people! 🤩💖

Polite, didactic, and extremely competent professionals. Furthermore, the agency has great infrastructure, good snacks, and excellent punctuality. They charge a fair price for the tours. I highly recommend them. 10 out of 10!
