    · August 7th, 2025
    We covered a lot of territory and the guide was informative, explaining what we were seeing and how it formed. He was very personable and accommodating. The altiplano hostels, that were in areas that reached -5 to -7C, had no heat or hot water and travelers should be advised to bring their own towels and some toilet paper along with their personal supplies. Overall however, I thought is was well worth what I paid for it and it was definitely a worthwhile experience. The tour company took very good care of me, meeting me and taking me to each destination. I especially appreciated the hotel room in Uyuni that was provided before and after the tour. It was very comfortable, and after the tour a shower was sorely needed!

    Guides - Overall very good to excellent Itinerary - Overall good, but a couple of instances where items described in the tour itinerary didn’t take place, and it wasn’t due to weather, unscheduled venue closures or other extraordinary events. It merely appeared to be a disconnect between Joker Expedition, and the individual guides. The La Paz-Lake Titicaca day of the itinerary could be changed to improve time utilization: a 3 hour bus ride, plus over 3 hours on the return ferry to Isla del Sol, all for spending one hour on the island, seemed poorly planned. Accommodations - Overall good/average, with a few exceptions: the Hotel Boutique Atipax in Uyuni was excellent, and the best by far. The hostels provided on Day 10-11 of the tour, however, were poor, and were not the accommodations that Joker Expedition specified in its detailed itinerary. Again, a disconnect with the tour operator/guide providing the Day 10-12 portion of the tour. The Day 11-12 hostel required additional payment for showers, towels, and toilet paper, and there were no private bathrooms for guests. In the shared bathroom, some toilets did not have seats, which was problematic for female guests. If the tour itinerary had explained the accommodation conditions to be expected, including the additional costs, then guests would be prepared. However, this information wasn’t mentioned in the itinerary. Additional Expenses - Day 10 required payment of a national park fee of 150 Bs. For many people on the tour, this was an unforeseen expense just before they were to depart Bolivia, and were trying to budget the remainder of their local currency. Again, if the itinerary had mentioned this large, last minute additional expense, guests could have been better prepared.

      The closest airport for traveling to Santiago from Atacama is Calama. The best way to get to Calama from Atacama is by taxi, which you can take in Atacama.

    Asked on April 5th, 2025

    Would it be possible to start the tour from the Uyuni bus station on 26th April, please? Would there be a difference in price, given that we have our own bus tickets? Are the hostels group or private rooms? If private rooms are available, what would be the extra cost?
