Geysers and stunning view - It was an incredible experience. Breakfast full and with a stunning view. On the way back the van broke tire and the guide triggered the agency, which promptly directed another van, in about 20 minutes we were already back to the route. Whipala has an excellent deal with customers!!

Good company would recommend - I booked the 5 tours in 3 days but unfortunately I was only able to do 3 tours. I aas able to do the geyser tour, profess Rojas ( subcontracted t through Andes travels) and Vellecito tour. Unfortunately rainbow valley, lacuna cejar and valley of the moon were cancelled due to rain and the company were more than willing to offer alternative like they did with vallecito or refund the money. I was disappointed I couldn’t do all the tours I had wanted but I still had a good time with the tours I did have .

Must-see experience with a must-see guide. - The experience was phenomenal. The guide (Daniel) arrived on time to meet us in the morning. Being at the same time our driver, and, considering that it is a very busy place, made us arrive early and third to the first stop (Geysers del Tatio) The planning made us manage to calmly see the geysers. The schedule also benefited how the geysers would look. Obviously we had a breakfast (also prepared by Daniel), which was strong and dynamic for everyone. We talked about several issues and it was more than pleasant. Our guide knew a lot. Not only was it noticeable in the planning and experience that he had to make sure that we saw everything in the best way, but when it came to explaining what was in front of us, he did it in such a way that it was clear and entertaining for everyone. He had a remarkable ability to translate into English and also to convey his charisma in that language. I knew the answer to everything and that's always helpful. I definitely recommend the experience. I leave with a very nice memory of the sights and our excellent guide, driver and chef.

Recommended - Punctual, attentive and clear information on each tour. They gave each place the time to explain and give us the necessary time to enjoy the fauna present.

Geysers of Tatio - We had already done another tour with the same agency, and having been satisfied we booked this one too. The tour starts very early, this allows you to see very well the vapor of the geysers, as well as the sunrise from the crater of the volcano where you are. The whole thing is spectacular. Our guide, Alex, was very knowledgeable and helpful. I recommend covering up well, but as soon as the sun rises the air starts to warm up and you will find relief immediately. Breakfast after the trip offers a really crazy view. It reconfirms a very nice experience!

Great tour - Almost never booked this tour due to the early start but so glad I did! Definitely a highlight of my time in San Pedro de Atacama and the tour guide (Alex) was really informative. Would 100% recommend and a great breakfast is included.

I would definitely choose them once and a thousand times - I arrived in San Pedro de Atacama and it didn’t all get off to a good start. They left me on an excursion, but when I changed agencies, everything was wonderful, it couldn’t go better and it was all thanks to this company and of course my Guide Manuel, he realized that the experience will exceed all my expectations. He explained everything in detail, both in Spanish and English, the trip was very pleasant, the food unsurpassed and the charisma and good vibe Manuel has steals your heart, also takes the best photos. It was certainly the best part of the trip, I wish I had been my Guide on all the excursions, he is quite a Pro and lover of what he does. Eternally grateful to both Manuel and the company!! It was an unforgettable trip

Great ride to extraordinary natural phenomena - A very great ride to some very interesting places. Great scenery, well organized and our tour guide knew a lot of background knowledge and spoke clearly. I felt in good hands and took beautiful impressions of the geysers and the wetlands with me.
