“Such a fun, adventurous way to spend a day in Atacama! It was our first time doing something like this and we really enjoyed it. Great guides!”
Trek Cerro Toco from San Pedro de Atacama, 5,000 to 5,600m, with a certified guide, small group, gear, and altitude strategy.
“The tour was just amazing. Brian is an amazing and funny guide. He had us walk 1 km at about 3,000 m to get used to the altitude. After a quick snack we drove up to 5,200m and started our hike. He made sure that everyone on the tour made it to the top in a loving but still guiding way. He took care of those who were struggling in such a nice way, it was amazing. And he made sure we had music throughout the tour, even during the hike. I highly recommend this tour with Brian!”
Hike Chile’s active Lascar volcano from San Pedro de Atacama toward 5590 m, smell fumaroles, spot wildlife, and enjoy Andes views.
“Expérience incroyable ! Nous étions accompagnés de Gary et Freddy, deux guides professionnels, à l’écoute des besoins et des difficultés. Ils nous ont accompagné durant toute l’ascension. Je recommande vraiment cette activité et encore merci à vous !”
Ride Cerro Toco in San Pedro on a pro-led downhill bike tour, dropping from up to 17,000 feet with volcano views and safety gear.
“If you're looking for a thrilling and unique experience in San Pedro, this is it! Gary and Sti were very knowledgeable and amazing guides, continuously checking up on how I was feeling throughout the ride (5200m altitude ain't no joke!). It felt like riding on another planet and was so scenic. Look to your right and you have the towering Licancabur Volcano. To the left, a host of other mountains I cannot name. The terrain is not overly technical so can still be enjoyed by a relative beginner like myself, with just over a year of mountain biking experience. I'd highly recommend this tour for the ride of a lifetime!”
