    What you'll see and do

    1. Valle De La Luna

      We will begin the tour leaving from San Pedro de Atacama towards the Salt Mountain Range in the Atacama Desert, the driest place on earth, heading to one of its most picturesque points: the Valley of the Moon. The names already give a clear clue to the landscape, where rock formations shaped by erosion, salt layers, the Greater Dune and views that will make you feel like you are on another planet reign. We will cross the valley transversally, visiting its famous rock formations: the Tres Marías, the Canyon and the Amphitheater. To finish the tour, we will enjoy the sunset from the Licarantay viewpoint, where you can see how the desert changes color, with large volcanoes on the horizon, offering a spectacle that will leave you speechless.

    2. We will pick you up to travel a few km from San Pedro de Atacama, to the place where you will carry out the activity. There you will have this Astrophotographic Tour, in a space with very little light pollution, special for observing the night sky. The tour, which is separated into three stages, will have a talk about the Andean worldview. In the same way, there will be a moment of telescope observation, with which you will be able to see planets and some details of them that are not visible to the naked eye. Finally, you will have a photo session with the starry sky in the background so that you can take home a souvenir of this experience.

    3. Lagunas Escondidas de Baltinache

      We will begin the tour leaving San Pedro de Atacama towards the southeast. We will travel for an hour in which we will be able to see the variation of colors of the desert landscape. We will arrive at the entrance to the hidden lagoons of Baltinache, where we can use the bathrooms before continuing the tour. We will follow the path that will take us through the seven lagoons that make up this wonderful landscape, of which only the last one can be used for swimming. Due to the amount of salt they contain, you will be able to experience the floating effect similar to that of the Dead Sea. After having seen this attraction in the middle of the Atacama Desert, we will begin our return, passing through the entrance facilities to use the bathrooms. On the way back, we will watch the sunset over the desert before arriving in the center of San Pedro de Atacama.

      300 minutes here · Admission not included

    4. Geyser del Tatio

      On the tour to the Tatio Geysers we will leave at dawn from San Pedro de Atacama towards the Altiplano, climbing the hills and mountains of the Andes Mountains. After 1 hour and a half of travel, we will arrive at the Geysers, a natural spectacle unique in the world, with 80 smoking geysers at 4,200 m altitude. Next to this natural setting, we will enjoy a restorative breakfast, and then tour the geothermal field, surrounded by numerous columns of steam. On the way back to San Pedro de Atacama, we will make a stop at the Putana River, where we will observe the native flora and fauna of the place.

    Our Atacama trip with Guias Tours was outstanding!

    My travel partners and I had an excellent 3 days 2 nights trip to Atcama with Guias Tours. From tour inquiry to completing the trip, special thanks to Fernado who has been very helpful and informative. The daily activities are organized by way of group chats setup, very effective and efficient mode of communication on hotel pickup order (include sharing of live location of guide), date/time, weather conditions, and additional information/reminders such as weather condition, entrance fee payable. Tour size is around 16. Most importantly, most of the tours include variety of snack food spread and Pisco Sour/juice. It did relief our anxiety on logistics arrangement. The tour guides are also attentive and knowledgeable. Highly recommend to look up Guias Tours.

    Response from the operator: Muchas gracias Carolyn, nos encanta saber que disfrutó de la experiencia y de nuestros tours. Lo hacemos con mucho gusto y profesionalidad. Saludos de parte de todo el equipo de GUIASTOURS.

    Great scenery but poor timing. and drop off in town , not back to your hot

    We were not collected for the astronomical experience, so we have missed that. The agency Guis tours did not initially help. The buses for the two tours we have been on were both late 15-20 mins, which may not sound long , it is after you have been given a pick up time of up to 45 mins. So it's an hour of hanging around each time.

    Best agency to go to Atacama Chile

    They're amazing, they gave me all the support for the trip. San Pedro is amazing, you enter a portal! And getting there already with all my scheduled tours and transfers was wonderful. I received all my suggested itinerary, and were super attentive to explain all the tours (do all, they are amazing!) they gave me support also in tips of restaurants, flight and hotel. I highly recommend and several friends and acquaintances are also going with them.

    Response from the operator: Muito obrigado, adoramos saber que você gostou da experiência e de nossos passeios. Fazemos isso com prazer e profissionalismo. Saludos de toda a equipe GUIASTOURS.

    3 Perfect Days in Atacama + Transfer: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Pedro de Atacama.

    How much does 3 Perfect Days in Atacama + Transfer cost?

    +

    Prices start at $280 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Pedro de Atacama usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 3 Perfect Days in Atacama + Transfer take?

    +

    Plan for about 20 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Pedro de Atacama is not rushed.

    Is 3 Perfect Days in Atacama + Transfer worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Pedro de Atacama, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Perfect Days in Atacama + Transfer?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 3 Perfect Days in Atacama + Transfer suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 20-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 3 Perfect Days in Atacama + Transfer?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Pedro de Atacama can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Pedro de Atacama and add a light layer if any part of the 20-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3 Perfect Days in Atacama + Transfer start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Pedro de Atacama within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in San Pedro de Atacama?

    +

    On Outty we rank every San Pedro de Atacama experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Half Day Tour to Geysers del Tatio, Piedras Rojas + Altiplanic Lagoons and Salar de Atacama, Hidden lagoons of Baltinache. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit San Pedro de Atacama?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in San Pedro de Atacama?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
