Great half day tours to...
Great half day tours to different sites. All communication is done via whatsapp before the tours begin. Guides pick you up at your hotel and then drop you off in the town centre

During the 3 days...
During the 3 days communication was excellent and the guides provided good information about what we were seeing. We particularly liked Rainbow Valley and the petroglyphs which are not usually part of the multi-day tours. I don’t know if Puka Rumi is always the provider but they were very good. I would recommend updating the description of the Laguna Cejar trip - you can no longer swim in the OJo de Salar. This was fine, the one swim in the salt lagoon was great, we were just a little confused when they told us to change out of bathing suits after our swim.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, we love to hear that you enjoy our tours. We do it with love and professionalism. Greetings

See a lot in a short span
Well organised. Lolo, Brandon and Alonso were all great guides. Always respectful of the nature park. The activities itself, I thought Valley De La Luna was the standout.

Stressful, Frustrating and Poorly Organized Tour
Guiatours was one of the most frustrating travel experiences I’ve ever had. This company is not a true tour operator — it’s merely a travel agency that subcontracts all activities to other agencies. Communication is only through WhatsApp, something never mentioned during the booking process. I am not an active WhatsApp user, and by sheer coincidence I noticed a message from Guiatours — which began with an insult for not responding sooner. Guiatours then informed me that I would have to coordinate all three days of tours directly with the subcontractor agencies, joining multiple WhatsApp groups to manage logistics myself. They also revealed that many entrance fees were not included in the tour price and that I would need to bring Chilean pesos for each tour. Pickups were from the hotel, but drop-offs were at the subcontractor’s office in the middle of San Pedro, not back at the hotel — again, something never disclosed upfront. I was left to arrange my own return transportation, at times late at night, and I feared for my safety since my hotel shuttle pickup point was located on a dark, deserted street corner several blocks away from the main town. Many of the tours were fine but some of the tours themselves did not meet expectations, with some advertised stops (like the Magic Bus) simply skipped and a strenuous hike in the Valley of the Moon scheduled during the extreme heat of the afternoon sun, instead of in the early morning of the following day when no other activities were planned. Overall, Guiatours made what should have been an enjoyable trip stressful and poorly organized. Unless you like spending your vacation managing logistics yourself, I strongly recommend avoiding Guiatours.
Response from the operator: This review is false, you are a former employee who is sending me messages on WhatsApp. Why are you doing this and harming us? I have enough evidence to take legal action against you. Stop posting this type of comment; our work is excellent, which is why we have excellent reviews.

5 Fantastic in Atacama Desert in 3 Days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Pedro de Atacama.
How much does 5 Fantastic in Atacama Desert in 3 Days cost?
+
Prices start at $209 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 5 Fantastic in Atacama Desert in 3 Days take?
+
Plan for about 72 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 5 Fantastic in Atacama Desert in 3 Days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 14 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 5 Fantastic in Atacama Desert in 3 Days?
+
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 5 Fantastic in Atacama Desert in 3 Days suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 72-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 5 Fantastic in Atacama Desert in 3 Days?
+
Around 5 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 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5 Fantastic in Atacama Desert in 3 Days 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.
