7 Days Atacama Desert Route
- 4-Days Discovery @ Atacama Desert
Such a beautiful and well-preserved area. Make sure you get there! Brilliant tour that covered some off the beaten path destinations. The guides and drivers were a highlight on their own. Amazing amount of cultural knowledge and adventure.
- 8 - Days Unique experience in San Pedro de Atacama & Easter Island (Rapa Nui)
I did the tour a few weeks ago, and the truth today as I write the review I get a smile of the good memory I have. I did it with my two grown children. All 3 of us agreed that it was very good. We were able to meet a new part of Chile and is beutiful. It is the first time we chose Signature Tours and they knew to be at the level we were looking for. They were always punctual with the schedules, kind. Our guide was Ariel, a very funny person with an excellent level of English.

How Do You Get Around the Atacama Desert?
While you can rent a car for flexibility the challenging terrain and high altitude routes make guided tours your best bet really. TourRadar's guides get great reviews like Ariel who speaks excellent English on the 8-day San Pedro & Easter Island tour and Mariela who's not just knowledgeable but brings fun energy to the experience.
How Long Should You Stay to See the Best of Atacama?
You'll want 3-5 days to hit the must-sees like El Tatio geysers Valle de la Luna and the incredible salt flats. If you've got time the 7-day Atacama Desert Route lets you dig deeper into spots like Rainbow Valley and those stunning high-altitude lagoons. One traveler mentioned the 4-day Discovery tour was perfect as a quick trip to catch all the highlights.
