Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Arrival in San Pedro de Atacama

    You'll land at Calama Airport sometime between 8am and 7pm, where your Spanish-speaking driver meets you for the transfer to San Pedro de Atacama. The drive takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, so you'll have time to settle into your hotel and get some rest before things kick off tomorrow.

  2. Day 2

    Cejar Lagoons, Ojos del Salar & Tebinquiche Lagoon

    This afternoon you're heading out to see three different lagoons in the area. First stop is Laguna Cejar where the water's so salty you float without effort. After that, you'll check out Laguna Tebenquiche and catch the Andean volcanoes reflecting in the water. You finish up at Ojos del Salar for the mountain views, then head back to your hotel before evening.

    Cocktail or Snack (Cocktail or snack during half day tour)

    Included Activities

    Tatio Geysers, Putana Volcano, Machuca Wetland & Moon Valley

    Start early before sunrise to catch the Tatio Geysers when they're most active, with over 80 geysers steaming up across the Southern Hemisphere's largest geothermal field. Breakfast happens at a wetland where you can see local wildlife. From there you'll walk through Putana volcano and Machuca wetland to look for flamingos. In the afternoon, explore Moon Valley and its dramatic salt formations, climb up to the Coyote Stone lookout, then finish the day with sunset drinks looking out at the Andes.

  • Atacama Desert, An unforgettable 4 days journey reviewer 1
    · October 23rd, 2024
    I enjoyed the tour very much. The tour guide prepared our lunch in picnic style in the natural outdoor environment, and I thought it was a unique and excellent idea. The tour guide was friendly and courteous and have good knowledge about the area around the Atacama region. Also, the customer care staff at the TourRadar in Chile went extra miles to take care of me, as a solo traveller, suggesting and giving me with valuable information about the cities and helpful tips, which gave me great comfort that someone is always looking after one in a strange cities.

    Is there an option to add stargazing?

    Tour Details
    • Signature DMCOperatorWritten July 2025

      Definitely yes, we can include the stargazing (in shared service) on the program. Add cost per person U$D 95

      We could offer it in private services to have an amazing experience that is always more comfortable for friends or families. Each excursion will be on your rhythm, and 100% dedicated to all of you. The only one activity provides on shared basis is Stargazing because it is extremely expensive on private basis.
