Tour was organized and on... - Tour was organized and on time. Javier is gives good history and descriptions.
Pickup time was 2:20 and we were returned by 5:45. It doesn't go for 5 hours (which is good, I'm not sure what we would've done). We did Laguna Cejar, then Laguna Tebinquiche. Ojos de Salar is on the way to Tebinquiche and is a 5 min stop. Salar de Atacama is the entire area, not really its own stop. Pisco sour + snacks at Tebinquiche were elaborate.
Only thing that could've been better explained is the swimming situation at Laguna Cejar and what we need to bring. There are very clean public showers and changing rooms! They are a short walk from the Laguna. That walk is rocky / gravelly. Would recommend bringing flipflops so you can walk from the Lagoon to the showers without needing to put hiking boots/shoes back on. The showers are required so you can get the minerals/salts off but are also very short, you are allowed 1-2 mins max just to rinse off. Don't bring shampoo/bodywash, but you can change back into regular clothes in the private changing rooms so you don't need to keep your swimsuit on under your clothes after you swim.

Unforgettable - you’ll regret not going - An experience like no other - even if you have been to the Dead Sea. Beautiful scenery, a few other stops on the way and an incredibly insightful guide to answer all of your questions.
I rearranged all of my other tours to do this and even passed on another to do this - 100% worth it

It's worth it, it's maneuver! - It is an excellent option p who has half day available. The first stop is nothing more, but what was worth it was the guide's explanation. It gives you an overview of where you are and where you're going, historical explanation and everything else, it's very nice. The last stop is the best, despite the intense cold, it is worth taking a bath in the pond. But reinforcement is too cold. And the guide closes the tour with a wonderful coffee watching the sunset. Sensational!!

100% recommended Whipala - Felipe, the guide, a charmer. Passionate about his work; he gave us valuable information regarding the tour. Very attentive and lively with the group, respectful for us to enjoy the experience. It made us a great picnic, under a beautiful tree at sunset, in the middle of the desert, a unique experience. Besides, he waited for the full moon to come up so we could enjoy that show. Definitely magic!!! Grateful to the Whipala guides.

A great excursion. It was... - A great excursion. It was great to go in Laguna Cejar, but also nice seeing the salt flats around ojos del salar and learning about the different organisms. A good sized group and the snack was obviously great. I definitely enjoyed this Laguna over the other one I did on this trip.

Great time, great snacks! - My family and I had a great time in this tour. The tour included visiting the Laguna Cejar, in which we were able to swim in, as well as Laguna Tebenquiche which was an amazing sight. Finally, we had a sort of picnic under a tree with pisco, chesses, grapes, and so much more. A very broad explanation to the area and volcanos was given, though I would have wished for a more thorough description. All in all, I would definitely do this tour again!

Nice tour, drives a little fast - The tour is very nice and the guide is very knowledgeable and conveys the passion he has for his country, however he went too fast it was difficult to follow him on the walking routes and in his explanations!
