Incredible panoramas! - Despite the bad weather, Lorena as guide and Javier as driver ensured we had as many superb views as possible, ending around a snack with an incredible view of the coyote valley.
Lorena is very pleasant to listen to because she is dynamic, playful and full of knowledge. Thank you to both of them for this wonderful experience. PURA VIDA.

Our guide was fantastic, Lolo or Lorena, really into the place and answering out questions and explaining everything in English and Spanish/Portuguese. Very organized agency and perfect communication!

Praise! - Excellent group! It was an experience that turned out better than expected. The tour was organized, light, fun and the snack was very good! It was a good investment to visit Vale da Lua with them and I imagine that other itineraries will have the same good vibe

This was my first tour in... - This was my first tour in Atacama and it was incredible. Cristian was a great guide. They sent you the website to buy the ticket before hand which was great. I really enjoyed exploring valle de la luna and learning about crystals and salt formations. Seeing the sunset was also amazing.

Unique site close to town! - Feels like you’re on another planet! It is definitely a must see in the Atacama Desert which is a short drive from San Pedro de Atacama.

A hot hike. - Our group was up for some hiking, so we hiked to a higher view point. Take their advice about plenty of water and sunscreen. The snack they prepare is like tapas, more than expected. With some Pisco. Lucas was good at explaining the geology. The stop at the little canyon where you can hear the rocks move was good.

Great place, mediocre guide - Tour was interesting, Valle De La Lana natural beauty is outstanding. Such as mystical and enigmatic place, I only wish I had spent more time there!
Unfortunately, we had a guide (Nicolas) who simply didn’t know how to listen. It appeared this young man was done with tourist and/or believe he could read your mind. When he didn’t like the question, he became defensive and believe you out him in the spot.
Go to Valle de La Luna but avoid this guide Nicolas

Valle de La Luna, yes! The guide, not his best day - The Valley of the Moon was wonderful, so was the snack provided and the music played by our guide in the van.
Unfortunately our guide Nico didn’t provide clear initial instructions about the course of the activity (bathroom, pace, etc).
More importantly, he wouldn’t wait for the whole group to explain certain facts about the Valley, he as in a hurry. And when we politely asked him in Spanish to wait for the whole group, he seemed to take it personal, saying repeatedly that I needed to trust him, that he knew how to do his job and that I needed to be more patient. He unfortunately missed our point, and created an uncomfortable atmosphere.
