“The half day tour of Santiago was outstanding. Our guide was a wealth of information especially concerning the political history of the country. He timed getting us to see the changing of the guards so we had a front row view of the procession. The gondola ride and the views from Cerro San Cristobal were wonderful and you could see all parts of the city.”
Half-day Atacama tour with a small group, including a float on Laguna Cejar, salt flats stops, and a pisco sour toast.
“A very touring experience where you visit 3 lakes with the volcano landscape in the background. The possibility of experiencing the phenomenon of floating in a salty lagoon is also very interesting but the water is cold!!!! The stop in the Eyes of Salar for me is the best! Beautiful pictures. Our guide Ernesto is excellent. A snack was served which was also excellentAuto-translated”
