Best Tours of the Atacama Desert

Tupiza to Uyuni Tour - Sunrise at the Bolivian Salt Flats

Uyuni Salt Flats & San Pedro de Atacama 3-Day Tour

Isla Incahuasi, Salar de Uyuni Salt Flats, Bolivia-6

How does a Salar de Uyuni and the Atacama Desert tour all in one go sound? This is a 3-day tour that ticks all the boxes, from exploring Salar de Uyuni to the emerald green Laguna Verde .

The first half of the journey is a Bolivian whirlwind as you explore Colchani and Salar de Uyuni, ending off at Ajenchi Town. Soak up Bolivia’s industrial past at the Train Cemetery and admire a sunset producing a myriad of colours reflecting off the pure-white salt flats of Uyuni.

How about popping over to the flamingo-filled waters of Cañapa Laguna? Perhaps you want to see the unique tree-like rock formations in the Siloli Desert? Whatever the case, you’ll discover over 20 of Bolivia and the Atacama Desert’s top attractions in three days.

You should note that the tour excludes Isla Incahuasi and the Eduardo Avaroa Reserve entry fees.

Piedra Rojas, Altiplanic Lagoons & Solar Full-Day Tour

This Atacama Desert day tour is brimming with flora, fauna, and picturesque lakes. Start your journey with a delectable breakfast as you overlook the sulphur-lined Miscanti lagoon. Volcanoes surround Laguna Miscanti y Miñiques, creating a colossal atmosphere.

Next up, the lake of Piedro Rojas Salars offers an unimaginable cacophony of colours due to the variety of minerals within the water. It can freeze over in winter, which makes a cool contrast.

Visit Piedro Rojas in winter, as the lake’s lower water levels make the colours even more vivid.

And if that’s not enough, you’ll also pop past Chile’s largest salt lake, Salar de Atacama. If flamingo spotting is on your bucket list, you can definitely tick it off here, as Laguna Chaxa is home to three unique species.

San Pedro de Atacama Etno-Astronomical Tour

Stargazing Milky Way, Atacama Desert, Chile-

No Atacama experience is complete without a night gazing into the starry sky above . So, get the most out of the Atacanemo sky on this astronomical tour .

Start off by getting a deeper scientific understanding of the universe. Get ready to understand the cosmos and how to differentiate a planet from a star. And don’t worry, you’re not just blindly looking up. There are telescopes to help guide you.

Visit between April and September for the best stargazing conditions.

Science isn’t the only perspective you’ll learn more about, and your tour guide will also explain the ancient inhabitants’ ways of seeing the stars. 

Valle de la Luna Sunset Tour

Valle de la Luna 

There’s only one thing that beats seeing Valle de la Luna, and that’s seeing this magical landscape at sunset. 

This Moon Valley tour allows you to explore a land where the wind carves the Martian-like landscape into ethereal formations. 

Watch the Grand Dunes ripple in the wind and gaze at Las Tres Maria’s as the sun casts them in a golden glow. I’d usually recommend visiting Valle de la Luna at sunrise (to avoid the sunset crowds). But this is a private tour and your guide will take you to a secret spot that not many people know.

Atacama Desert Tour: 3-Day Special Activity Combo

Salar de Quisquiro

Pack four of Atacama’s top tourist attractions into a 3-day experience like no other. Each tour departs from San Pedro de Atacama daily, so accommodation isn’t included, but transportation is.

From a geyser that erupts every six minutes to the biggest fumaroles in the Northern Geyser field, El Tatio is a bubbling world of sulphur awaiting discovery. 

Then there’s the expansive fields of white salt flats in the High Altiplano. Some top ones you’ll visit include Salar de Pujsa, with its wildlife-filled wetland and the peaceful lakeside of Salar de Quisquiro.

And the opportunities don’t end there, as you’ll visit the salt mountain range of Vallecito and the hidden lagoons of Baltinache . What more could you ask for?

The Perfect Three-Day Atacama Itinerary

Hidden Lagoons of Baltinache Tour

Julianna Barnaby, Cejar Lagoon, Atacama Desert, Chile

You’ve probably seen those epic videos of someone walking into the turquoise waters of a small lagoon as the sky offers a tapestry of colour. Do you wonder where on earth you can find these picturesque lagoons? 

Wander no more because this Baltinache tour will take you to seven remote lagoons every Instagram model tries to photograph. Although the tour excludes entry to the lagoons ($11.85 cash), it does include transportation and a guide who’ll make the experience truly unique.

Besides, who doesn’t want the chance to float in like a cork in a crystal-clear lagoon with white sand surrounding you? 

Guided Buggy Tour Through the Atacama Desert

Salar de Uyuni Salt Flats, Bolivia

If you’re an adrenaline seeker looking to take on the Atacama’s rugged terrain, then this buggy tour is the one. Be it sand, mountains, or rivers. Nothing will stop your 4×4 vehicle in this seemingly never-ending landscape.

Want to pair a little adventure with some cultural significance? Your buggy tour will stop at two archaeological sites — you can try, but your GPS won’t find these hidden destinations. 

All-in-all, you’ll traverse 31 miles of towering sand dunes, steep mountain roads (if you can call them roads), and trickling riverbeds. 

San Pedro de Atacama Sunrise Hot Air Balloon Ride

Atacama

Start your day early with unprecedented views of the Atacama Desert from above on this sunrise hot air balloon ride . 

Watching the reddish glow of the sun begin to peak from behind the Licancabur Volcano is a sight few get to enjoy. And it’s a hundred times better when you’re 1,000 feet in the sky.

Your chariot of the sky (humour me) rises between the Andean Mountains and Domeyco Cordillera. As the sun kisses the ground below with rays of light, you’ll see it all, from Death Valley and Salt Mountain Range to the Atacama Lagoon and Moon Valley.

And just before you think the start of the day couldn’t get any better, it does. After landing, you’ll feast on a fresh medley of local cuisine. It’s sure to be the best breakfast you’ll have in Chile.

Geysers del Tatio Half-Day Tour From San Pedro de Atacama

Sunrise El Tatio Geysers, Atacama Desert, Chile

Get ready to see the natural fireworks that Rodolfo poignantly calls the El Tatio Geysers at sunrise. This half-day tour offers you a short but sweet opportunity to admire the glistening minerals in the bubbling and steaming waters of El Tatio’s fumaroles. 

The tour starts with a sunrise hike around the northern geyser fields. The bouts of steam and twinkling minerals throughout the walk are sure to knock you out of your early-morning drowsiness. After a generous breakfast, the second hike of the day takes you to the traditional village of Machuca.

This old Andean village still builds its homes (of which there are only 20) using traditional techniques. In other words, you’ll also learn about the communities that still live within this harsh landscape of El Tatio.

Chile’s Atacama Desert Tour With Canyoning & Trekking

Julianna-Barnaby-Valle-de-Luna-Atacama-Desert-Chile.jpg

Are you looking to build up a sweat and test your limits? Then, one of the best Atacama tours for you has to be this canyoning experience .

Get ready to descend a towering cliff face with a raging waterfall alongside you. I know it sounds pretty dangerous, but trust me, it’s sure to get your adrenaline pumping. You’ll get to do four rappels throughout the day. And don’t worry. A qualified guide will help you every step of the way.

You’ll take turns climbing up to the top of the canyon and rappelling back down. So, in your off time, you can rest on the sandy banks or dip in the refreshing — albeit cold — river.

Atacama Red Rocks & Altiplano Lagoons Day Trip

South America Travel Itinerary - Dont forget the Atacama Desert

Book this Altiplano day trip to visit the Tropic of Capricorn and venture into the red-laden landscape of the Aguas Calientes Salt Flat. You’ll enjoy an hour-and-a-half walk past the iconic Piedras Roja. 

During the trip, you might spot the rainbow of colourful minerals cascading down Volcano Capur. But a guarantee is a visit to the most iconic lakes in the area, including Chaxa, Miscanti, and Miñiques. 

On the way back from the Piedra Rojas, you’ll stop by Socaire village. Here, you can snap some photos of the 700-year-old and the sun setting over the Incan terrace fields of the village.

Atacama Desert Astrophotography Tour

Stargazing Milky Way

Atacama Desert stargazing is always on the agenda, especially when you consider it’s a region at the forefront of astronomical research. With locations like ALMA and Paranal, taking an Atacama Desert observatory tour only makes sense.

This astrophotography tour is relatively new on the block, but it’s the perfect way to admire the night sky and snap some memorabilia simultaneously. From visiting the ACT Observatory to sipping refreshing aperitivo, it’s a memory that will last a lifetime. 

And you’ll take two professional photos home. Could you ask for much more?

Atacama Fat Biking Tour

Drone Shots, High Altiplano, Atacama Desert, Chile

While everyone is heading to the usual tourist attractions, how about a guided bike ride through the Atacaman landscape? You won’t see the bubbling geysers at El Tatio or the calming lakes of the higher Atacama Basin, but at least you’ll be able to experience the land at your own speed.

The tour departs by car from Iquique in the afternoon and arrives in the middle of the desert just before sunset. This provides the perfect weather for the meandering journey through the region’s dunes. 

The tour doesn’t include food, which isn’t ideal, but as far as ways to explore the Atacama go, it’s one of the best.

Multi-Day Tour in San Pedro de Atacama

Sunset-Laguna-Tebinquinche-Atacama-Desert-Chile

If you want to enjoy all the best things in the Atacama Desert without a worry in the world, then this multi-day tour is for you. The adventure spreads across four days for your convenience.

You can entice your inner explorer with guided tours to Valle de la Luna, Rainbow Valley, Atacama Salt Flat, Piedras Rojas, the Altiplanic lagoons, and El Tatio Geysers. And to put the cherry on top, you’ll also embark on an astronomic tour at Ayllu de Cucuter. 

You’ll also enjoy all your meals from the tour agency, including all the park entrance fees.

Salar de Uyuni & Altiplano Cordillera Traveller Tour

Salar de Uyuni Salt Flats, Bolivia

If you cross the border to Bolivia and want a truly exceptional experience, I highly recommend booking this Cordillera Traveller tour . My first day on the tour was a bit of a mix-up, as the booking office made a mistake, but my guide, Walter, was excellent.

The tour focuses on the Altiplano region, which happens to be the widest point of the Andean Mountains. One of the highlights of the tour has to be the visits to the pre-Columbian cities like Chirp.

These cities encapsulate just how powerful and significant the Incan Empire was. There are even Incan ruins at Licancabur Volcano, which you might visit if you choose it as a part of your tour package.

Practical Tips for Exploring the Atacama Desert Tours 

  • Valle de la Luna gets extremely busy. If you’re looking for a free-to-enter, quieter destination, consider Ckamur Valley.
  • If you want an all-inclusive resort that includes tours of the Atacama Desert, consider booking a stay at Nayara Alto Atacama . 
  • Not all the tours depart from San Pedro de Atacama or include hotel pick-up. Make sure you read the tour description fully before booking.

Cordillera Traveler is safe and reliable (but hostels are not so clean)

We booked a three day trip with Cordillera Traveler because of all the good reviews online which all affirmed how safe they were. This was indeed the case and our driver/guide was friendly and informative (and he did NOT drink and drive). However, Cordillera was significantly more expensive than all other agencies and we were told that this was for many reasons, including exclusive accommodations in the agency's hostels. The first night (at Laguna Colorada) the sheets were clean, however the night at the salt Eco lodge was a disgrace--several of us found bedbugs in the sheets. The sheets were extremely dirty and it was clear they had not been changed in a long time. The food was very basic but ok and they made an effort to provide vegetables and fruit! All that said the overall experience was good but we have no way of comparing with the services provided by other companies.

We've just finished a 3 day salt flat tour from San Pedro de Atacama to Uyuni. We did it with Cordillera travel and it was excellent. The sights are incredible and the scenery is like nowhere else on Earth. We chose Cordillera because after a lot of research they had the best safety record, the least complaints in the San Pedro tourist office book and we trusted the woman in the office we spoke too. They were the most expensive company we spoke to (85,000 chilean pesos) but the extra is apparently down to them paying the drivers the most AND giving them a bonus if they drove carefully. Whether this is true or not, our driver was excellent, unlike other drivers he didn't touch alcohol and was extremely careful driving, i never felt unsafe. I would recomend this company to others as we asked 100's of questions and the answers we got matched what we experienced. I advise you really investigate what you get, you are basically in the middle of nowhere so if you go in expecting top quality food and accomodation you will be dissapointed. One important point about the tour itself, at one point you visit some geyesers at around 5000m. There is no real signage and everyone runs around taking pictures of the steam and boiling mud pools. Exercise serious caution here though, a member of our party was walking on what looked like totally normal ground, away from the geysers, when it collapsed under him. He fell knee deep into boiling mud and after a very scary few hours at a medical station in a borax mine was lucky to escape with second degree burns to his lower leg. It could have been anyone and luckily he got prompt medical attention and will be ok. To us this was a good lesson about Bolivia, just becuase you can do something,doesn't mean you should!

We were recommended to use this company from a number of different sources, and for good reason. The three days we spent travelling from San Pedro de Atacama to Uyuni were unforgettable. We were collected from our hostel in San Pedro de Atacama and driven to the Bolivian border in a minibus with other members of the tour group. We were then served breakfast while the 4x4 drivers arrived and began to load our luggage onto the vehicles; each 4x4 had 6 passengers. The driver was very professional, safe, and gave a good commentary on our surroundings through-out the trip (albeit in Spanish). We saw a range of different lagoons, rock formations, geysers, and of course the salt flats. The accommodation both nights was basic but comfortable. We were given plenty of blankets so the nights weren't too cold. The food was a bit odd but there was plenty of it, and it was quite nice.

I just took a 4 day tour from San Pedro de Atacama to Salar de Uyuni and back. I read many reviews and decided to go with Cordillera Traveller being aware that all tour operators available have mixed reputations. Bad start: They told me to be at their office the day we started at 7:45 but there was no one there. When I called the number I spoke to a very unfriendly person who told me that "he wouldn't care and I should just wait in front of the office". Very rude. I knew it was Chile/South America and that you cannot expect people to be on time but still. Maybe it would be a good idea to ensure people they would be called if there are any mix-ups or to make sure there is a sign in front of the office assuring you that you are in the right place and should just wait. However... we got picked up at 8:30 and took off to the border. From there, the next 4 days have been simply unbelievable! You are put in a 4x4 Jeep at the border with 5 other people and you meet your guide/driver for the whole tour there. The guide and the people on your Jeep really make or break your trip. I was incredibly lucky. Our driver and guide - Silvio - was incredibly nice and always tried to make the experience as good for us as possible, more on this later. The other people on the Jeep (except for 2 girls) where great so that was also a check. But of course this cannot be contributed to the company you go with. Anyway. I don't want to recap the whole trip but just give a better idea of my general experience. - Help from Cordillera I have been in contact with Mijal from Cordillera and she always responded to my emails in a timely fashion and helped me out answering all my questions. Not very common in Chile! - The Food: was great! We had soups, vegetables, meet, coffee breaks on our tour and Silvio always made sure to please everyone. Having a lunch break at 4000m (12000ft) in front of a lagoon is incredible! The food is basic, but very well prepared. Healthy, enough for everyone, and something different everyday. Really A+!!! - Accomodation Basic, yes. Cold, yes. BUT: clean and simple. Please don't forget that you're in one of the most deserted places on the planet. If you're looking for 5 star accomodation exepect to pay more than 200 USD for a 3-4 day trip. If you come prepared (sleeping bag, thermal underwear, right expectation) you won't have any problems - Car The 4x4 are old but the drivers make a lot of effort to keep them clean and maintain them. I cannot imagine any worse conditions than these for a car. Blazing hot during the day (>30°C), freezing at night (-10°C), Sand, high altitude, salt, very bumby 'roads'. So if you read about cars breaking down. That can happen, because the conditions are just terrible for ANY car. We saw another car broken down on the way and Silvio hot wired it and they could go again. So it seems the Cordillera guys know a thing or two about cars. Also, Silvio drove very safe at all times. He really knew the way around and we all felt very safe. Without being in any other car, it seemed the other drivers did the same thing. - The desert/sights Amazing! You will see things you will never see in your life! Also, you could really tell how much the drivers appreciated the nature when explaining things which made it a lot more special. - Drivers speak Spanish only You pay 200 USD for a long tour, 3 nights, 3 meals a day, and a guide. Please don't expect the driver to speak Spanish. He will get a very small cut of the total and in Bolivia, finding someone who speaks Spanish is very hard anyway. There will always be people in your Jeep who speak some Spanish and you don't miss all that much not understanding everything. Most things are self explanatory anyway. If you do want a Spanish speaking guide, expect to pay a lot more! What I didn't like: - Sometimes you have not enough time at the different spots and then you get to the hostel and have excess time. Time, I would have rather spent at the lagoons. BUT: if you are nice to the driver and have a good relationship with him he will go the extra mile for you. Silvio for example gave us more time in the different spots when we asked him. Very cool! - The time spent at the Salt Flats wasn't enough I feel. The place is incredible and the grand finale. They gave us roughly 1 hour and then we headed back to be given another 30 minutes to buy souvenirs. What the hell?! I don't want to spend time buying stuff when I could be in the Salt Flats! That can definitely be improved. Tips: - bring a sleeping bag (although you can rent one for little money) - bring some extra cash for buying gifts. Bolivia is very cheap - expect it to be a rough trip (lies in the nature of the desert) - follow the advice the agency gives you before hand Summary: One of the best trips of my life! Of course there are always small things to be improved but given the rough nature of the place and the reviews I read before I could not have been more happy with Cordillera Traveller. I can recommend the trip to anyone and if you go, do it with Cordillera. I am sure you will have a great time just as I had!

After reading (and hearing) a lot about unsafe drivers and mallafide tour operators we choose Cordillera in San Pedro de Atacama. A very helpful lady, who spoke great English, took us through the itinerary (3 days, 2 nights) and what to buy/know of prior to leaving - we were picked up from our hostel at 5.30am in a mini bus and they drove us straight to the Bolivian boarder where we switched to our 4WD Jeep. The jeep was in great shape, there were 6 of us + the driver which was more than comfortable, just be sure to only pack a small day pack for the day, there is not much room inside the car and your luggage is tied up on the roof and you won't be able to get to it until the evening. We had an amazing driver, he knew his way around like the back of his hand and got us everywhere safe and sound (sound could be the Coca leaves talking:-) Cordillera have their own hostels for both nights which are very clean. Costs were 85k Chilean pp and it was well worth it; seriously one of the most amazing scenery you can ever come across!! And Cordillera definitely gets my vote!

After extensive research on tripadvisor and other sites we decided to go into Cordillera Travel shop in San pedro. We were greated by a super helpful Spanish lady who spoke prefect english, she took us through the 3 day / 2 night itinerary and informed us of everything we needed to know / buy and take with us. We're picked up from our hotel in San Pedro at 5.30am in a mini bus and driven practically to the Bolivian boarded before switching into our jeep. The jeep was in great condition and there were 6 of us plus the driver  which was more than comfortable. Although I'd recommend you try and only take a tiny day pack, if you need it at all as there isn't much spare space but it's worth bearing in mind when your big pack is tied up on the roof you won't be getting it back til the evening, so take what you need for the day. Our driver was brilliant, not only did he know all the tracks like the back of his hand but he kept us entertained with a power ballads cd!!  Joking aside he was extremely knowledgable and a great safe driver. One of the best bits about booking with  Cordillera was that they have their own hostels for both nights which are super clean. All in all I can't recommended them highly enough. We paid 85000 Chilean each and for the money it was a fantastic trip.

Inland Pacifica: Nature’s bounty in San Pedro Valley Park and living history at Sanchez Adobe

P acifica is renowned for beaches, ocean views and fog. But there’s another side of this town south of San Francisco worth checking out.  Take a detour away from the water and drive inland into the Linda Mar neighborhood on the southern edge of Pacifica to find two spots worth a visit, and maybe even a bit of sunshine. 

At the eastern end of Linda Mar Boulevard, about two miles from the ocean, is San Pedro Valley Park. Halfway along this same route is the Sanchez Adobe, a two-story structure that dates from the 1840s and touches on several centuries of history. 

San Pedro Valley Park consists of 1,100 acres on the banks of San Pedro Creek and up into the Santa Cruz Mountains. A brochure for the park says, “Often sunny when the rest of the San Mateo Coast is foggy, San Pedro is popular with hikers.”  

It’s also popular with picnickers and equestrians, who ride through its pine, oak, redwood and eucalyptus forests. 

Spring is a good time to hike in the park toward Brooks Falls, a narrow seasonal waterfall that drops 175 feet in three tiers. Hikers who head up the mountain also get spectacular views of the ocean to the west. One steep trail goes up Montara Mountain. 

 “We’ve got a series of great trails,” said Mark Golembiewski, 74, vice president of the Friends of San Pedro Valley Park, a volunteer group. 

The park is home to two forks of San Pedro Creek, a steelhead trout habitat. Steelhead are easiest to spot during their winter spawning season from December to February. There’s a nature trail near the creek that’s easy to follow, amid redwoods and ferns. 

On weekends, the park’s large visitor center is open. Inside there is a taxidermy collection; the mounted specimens include a mountain lion, fox and skunk. 

“Kids really enjoy that. They look like they’re alive,” said Golembiewski. 

Visitors to San Pedro Valley Park also may want to stop by the nearby two-story Sanchez Adobe Historic Site.  

Originally home to Ohlone natives, the area became a farm used to support Mission Dolores in San Francisco when the Spanish controlled the area in the 18 th and 19 th centuries. Some of the ruins date back to that time. 

The existing adobe building was built in the 1840s by Francisco Sanchez, who was mayor of Yerba Buena, which later became San Francisco. The structure, which has had many owners and uses through the years, has been a hotel, a speakeasy during Prohibition and a restaurant. Today, visitors can tour the building, which is a state historical landmark.  

The adobe, which is operated by the San Mateo County Historical Association, has been restored with a Victorian era look, although plans are in the works for installing furniture that reflects life when the Sanchez family lived there. The 5-acre site includes a visitor center, which traces the history of the building and region. The Sanchez Adobe Historic Site is open Tuesday to Thursday and weekends, and admission is free. 

Pacifica’s San Pedro Valley Park is at 600 Oddstad Blvd. (visit smcgov.org/parks/ ) and Sanchez Adobe is at 1000 Linda Mar Blvd. (visit historysmc.org/ ).
