Great experience - dress appropriately! - Julia was an excellent guide and was always eager to answer questions in English. It was incredibly windy at Piedras Rojas, which can be pretty uncomfortable if you don't come dressed for the weather.

Awesome day trip with superb guides. - Excellent day out. Pick up was perfect with constant messages and live location. The places themselves were incredible to see. They aren't lying when they say be prepared for wind! The guide and driver were brilliant. Plus a good breakfast and lunch. Highly recommend.

João was the one who guided us, who practically gave us a geology lesson, top notch, as well as taking incredible photos of us. She treated us very well, and made our experience perfect, congratulations, we really like him, keep providing this incredible experience to tourists, you can see that he really loves it or does it. Thanks João and Pukarumi

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PUKA RUMI TRAVEL. ✅ - I am very grateful to the professionals involved and all the structure offered, especially to the guides João and Patrício (Pato), these guys simply make their work seem very easy, they show at all times that they love what they do, super attentive and dedicated to explaining every detail of the places, delivering literally impeccable work. For anyone interested in hiring a serious, structured company with these professionals giving a real lesson on each tour, my recommendation is PukaRumi. I am very grateful for every experience on this unforgettable trip.

More than a tour to take photos, a class from João! - It's in our top 1 places to visit in Atacama, the landscapes are super different, grand and the guide João was perfect: he explained in detail the geology of each place we passed, he showed us different types of rocks, what each one did be like that... in short, a geology class! Plus, it takes great photos haha

Beautiful tour and great agency. - We took the tour with the guide Giullia and everything was perfect! She knew a lot about the region and managed to set up the stops at times when there were few people from other groups, so the tour was much calmer and we were able to take beautiful photos. She knew the history of the place very well and was super kind to us. We did all our tours in Atacama with Puka Rumi and they were very organized, with great guides, we highly recommend them.
