- Valle Arcoiris - An essential excursion, a unique place in Latin America. It’s worth waking up early, it’s worth dressing up warm to weather the -10 degree temperatures. A wonderful environment that offers the opportunity to be very close to different types of geysers that very early in the morning offer impressive fumaroles. The tours that offer a breakfast there give a plus for being in an impressive place.
- Yerbas Buenas Petroglyphs - This expedition will also allow us to visit the petroglyphs of Hierbas Buenas of great historical importance based on rock art, where the Atacameño people left a vestige of their culture through these (place of great geological content).

Rainbow Valley Tour - A very nice excursion with a guide, Alex, who demonstrated exceptional knowledge of history, probably by hobby, and geology, sure by training

Must see - This was one of the best tours we did in Atacama. The views were incredible and petroglyphs incredibly interesting and different from what we’d seen before. Alex was a brilliant tour guide and took time to explain things to us in English even though we were the only two taking the tour in the language. Highly recommend!!!

Top notch driving, guidance, and explanations—gorgeous sites - Alexander was an amazing, eloquent, impassioned guide with a great command of English. He took us to extra stops as well and seemed sincerely happy to spend a day in the desert with us.

Amazing Tour + Sensational Guide - The petroglyphs themselves are cool and the Rainbow Valley is beautiful, but the experience was more than special with Guide Ernestito, always smiling, full of information to share. It starts at the time when he joins the group and asks everyone to present themselves, this is already a differential. His knowledge is huge and treats us in ways that make us feel at home. Note 10!

Excellent experience rainbow valley tour - The experience was excellent and that was thanks to Ernesto Guide, charismatic, friendly, very good his energy, didactic to tell the history and geography of the area. Excellent breakfast.
The places are beautiful, but the Guide is the one who takes the applause by taking us on this adventure.

Best tour in San Pedro de Atacama! - I can 100% recommend this tour! The Tour guide Ernesto is the nicest and puts in a lot of work to ensure it is a great excursion for everyone. He is very knowledegable about the tour‘s spots and gets everything across in a very entertaining and funny way. All this made this tour my absolute highlight in San Pedro de Atacama!
P.s.: The tour also features the best breakfast with e.g. freshly made scrambled eggs, guacamole and brownies which is beyond every other tour breakfast

LACK OF RESPECT WITH TOURIST - NO RESPECT FOR THE CUSTOMER, the tour DOES NOT INFORM ANYWHERE when its detail or description is given that there is a height of 3,500 meters above sea level approx. As it is not reported, having already confirmed and PAID the reservation for two people, I went to Whipala at 6:00 p.m. the day before the tour just to coordinate the pick-up at my hotel, since it was not considered one of the fixed places. And at that moment, the person who assisted me pointed out information about my height, because I told him that my partner was having some difficulties with his blood pressure. Then I explained to him that climbing 1,000 more meters was dangerous, so he had to cancel the tour.
He told me that it was not possible, that it was 24 hours before, and he understood because that information was visible when contracting, but NOT THE HEIGHT ABOVE SEA LEVEL, to which he told me that "if something happens we will lower everything." the group", to which I insisted that due to the lack of relevant information, I was asking for at least a partial refund, or to leave that amount for another occasion and another lower-level tour. Miss V. Cortés (that's what she told me her name was when I asked her) told me that it couldn't be done, that if I was from the area (I live in Antofagasta and I let her know) that how could I not know about the height? . In short, ZERO RESPECT FOR THE HEALTH AND INTEGRITY OF THE TOURIST, NO RELEVANT INFORMATION and I WAS FORCED BY THE TOUR OPERATOR TO PAY ALMOST 80,000 FOR BEING ANGER. Needless to say, since it was about online hiring, WHIPALA indicated that they had no relationship with this, and they completely washed their hands of it.
