The 15 Best San Pedro de Atacama Tours

25 reviewed

Everything worth seeing around San Pedro sits between forty minutes and three hours away, most of it above 4,000 metres, so the tour you pick decides the whole day. These are the 15 best San Pedro de Atacama tours: which leave early enough for the geysers to still be steaming, which build in the altitude-friendly breakfast stop, what each costs, and how to stack two or three across a stay without wrecking yourself.

We learned all about the history of astronomy and saw some great constellations! We had some good snacks and took some great pictures. I have never seen such a beautiful moon! I would definitely recommend!”

“I provided the pick up address 2months in advance, and reconfirmed this and the pick up time 48 hours before the tour. But despite getting up at 03:15 the bus did not turn up. The Chile enquiry number would not answer when we tried 15 mins after the agrred time, until eventually 30 mins later someone answered who was working from home and based in Santiago. They said they could not find the booking snd slso was unable to contact a different local company tgat was actually providing the tour. We shall see what happens now. So far quite unimpressed by losing a day of holiday.”
