Getting close to nature
Great trekking tour, relaxing and getting close to nature.
via Tripadvisor
Trekking and a rewarding swim.
Good walk. A short trek, not demanding despite being at about 3,000 meters above sea level. At the end, some warm water pools, to bathe and relax. Well taken care of by the agency and a good guide

Cute Trekking
Excellent trekking and finally being able to bathe in the river with hot springs is a plus!!!

A great introduction to the area
This was my first activity after arriving in San Pedro de Atacama. I’m glad I went with the group. Fortunately everyone was in similar condition and capability, so no long waits for people to catch up. The guide was helpful all along the way and she provided information of interest. You “could” do this on your own; the trail is pretty obvious so there’s little chance of getting lost. But having the transportation and guide was a good idea for me (solo, without a car). Note: The “hot springs” at the end was more luke-warm. It was refreshing and fun to get in, especially under the waterfall, but don’t expect thermal pools that you’ll want to soak in for an extended period. Need: Water, maybe a snack, sunscreen, sturdy footwear, swim suit and towel (you’ll change outdoors under the towel).
Response from the operator: Thank you for your recommendation! And for choosing us. We're so glad you enjoyed both tours we offer. Mission accomplished! Until next time! :D Sincerely, René. :)

Purilibre Trekking: Disconnection and Nature: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Pedro de Atacama.
How much does Purilibre Trekking: Disconnection and Nature cost?
+
Prices start at $55 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 Purilibre Trekking: Disconnection and Nature take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 Purilibre Trekking: Disconnection and Nature worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 Purilibre Trekking: Disconnection and Nature?
+
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 Purilibre Trekking: Disconnection and Nature suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Purilibre Trekking: Disconnection and Nature?
+
Around 3 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Purilibre Trekking: Disconnection and Nature 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.
What is included in Purilibre Trekking: Disconnection and Nature?
+
Included: Snacks; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Purilibre Trekking: Disconnection and Nature include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around San Pedro de Atacama. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Purilibre Trekking: Disconnection and Nature offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Purilibre Trekking: Disconnection and Nature?
+
