Amazing views - The guide Guilia was really good at making sure everyone is feeling okay despite the altitude and making sure you are comfortable. The tour itself was well scheduled, giving you adequate time to cover each location and do phototaking. Definitely a must do tour when in Atacama. The Laguna Chaxa was my favourite

Great day out - Great day out, primarily because of the guide Nicolas and the driver Julio whose enthusiasm is contagious. Great close up experience with the flamingos and beautiful scenery. The big suprise was the catering which was superb and really substantial.

Experience highly recommended! - Excellent experience!! I took 4 tours with Pukarumi: Valley of the Moon, Laguna Cejar, El Tatio and Piedras Rojas. All very great from the beginning to the end of the excursions, amazing cocktail and very good breakfasts, all well organized and really enjoyed the time visiting beautiful places. I want to thank the guides and drivers who were very friendly, Jose, David, Nicolas, Franco and Carolina. Special thanks for Franco who was in charge of 3/4 excursions where I went and learned a lot, always willing and good vibes. Thank you so much!!

Excellent structure. Isi and John, fantastic guides - We did 8 trips with PukaRumi, quite intense, but each with a different magic. We had great moments, vans, breakfasts, lunch (red stones) and picnics. Very well structured and organized company. I made all the bookings with Marcia Santos, always very proactive and willing to help, besides always respond very quickly via WhatsApp. Guides make the tours even more fantastic, with stories, explanations and relevant details. Among all those we had the opportunity to pass, I highlight João (Brazilian) and Isidora. Undoubtedly if I could choose, we'd do all the tours with just these two.

Sights and wild animals - Very well organized and communicated. Prefect because it lasts a bit less then 8 hours and doesn't leave you exhausted. Delicious breakfast and lunch served outdoors with great sights, however, there were annoying winds and a bit of sand flying around and spoiled a bit our lunch. Sights on this tour are amazing and we saw numerous different types of animals in the wild (and I don't want to spoil the surprise for you by listing them here).

100% must do tour in Atacama! - Can't recommend this tour highly enough. Picked up from our hotel in good time and with their live location so you aren't waiting for ages. Headed to the Laguna Chaxa first whilst it was empty- a serene silent lake with the flamingoes and no groups of tourists, it was breathtaking. Had breakfast at the topic of Capricorn which was a great spread! The piedras rojas is insane, words can't describe. The lakes were beautiful. The guide was knowledgeable and did a good job of translating Spanish, Portuguese and English. Lunch was good too and we were back in town at 4pm
