    Misleading and you may be transferred without warning!

    We booked an experience with this Company on Viator for a simple transfer to the hot springs. Communication appeared promising until the night before the actual experience. We were transferred to another agency without any prior warning or notice. Being forced into joining an unknown WhatsApp group of another company was not great when we had no warning it was happening. The other company communicates solely in Spanish, and while that wasn’t an issue, we had chosen this company due to its English speaking option for convenience. Coordinating pickup in Spanish was an added layer of inconvenience on the morning.

    Response from the operator: Hello, and thank you for sharing your experience with us. 😊 We sincerely apologize for the confusion and inconvenience you experienced regarding the transfer coordination and communication before your tour. We completely understand your frustration about being added to another company’s WhatsApp group without prior explanation, especially after booking expecting English-speaking assistance and direct communication through our team. Your feedback is very important to us, and we recognize that this situation could have been communicated much more clearly in advance. In San Pedro de Atacama, many services operate through collaborations with certified local operators in order to guarantee availability and daily departures. However, we agree that passengers should always receive transparent information beforehand, particularly regarding language support and operational coordination. We are truly sorry that the pickup process added unnecessary stress to your morning experience. This is not the level of clarity and comfort we aim to provide to our travelers. Your comments will be shared with both our team and our operational partners so we can improve communication, advance notice procedures, and support for English-speaking passengers. We truly appreciate you choosing Expediciones San Pedro through Viator, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a smoother and even better experience in the future. 🌵✨ Thank you again for your honest feedback. Team Expediciones San Pedro

    Natural thermal pools.

    Transportation and access with about two hours for bathing in the seven natural thermal pools of Puritama. I hired Atacama Extreme and it was very nice. Hot water in the middle of the desert, with bathrooms and dressing rooms.

    Puritama Hot Springs Experience with Transfer and Entrance: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Puritama Hot Springs Experience with Transfer and Entrance cost?

    +

    Prices start at $130 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 Puritama Hot Springs Experience with Transfer and Entrance take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.5 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 Puritama Hot Springs Experience with Transfer and Entrance worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 6 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 Puritama Hot Springs Experience with Transfer and Entrance?

    +

    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 Puritama Hot Springs Experience with Transfer and Entrance suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Puritama Hot Springs Experience with Transfer and Entrance?

    +

    Around 2 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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Puritama Hot Springs Experience with Transfer and Entrance 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 Puritama Hot Springs Experience with Transfer and Entrance?

    +

    Included: Admission Ticket; and Transfer to Puritama Hot Springs. Not included: Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
