Guided Moon Valley in San Pedro, with salt dunes, Tres Marias, sunset views, plus snacks and a pisco sour, with hotel pickup.

“The tour itself was good and our guide was very nice. However we didn’t hear anything from the provider or pick ups until less than an hour before the activity with no way to contact them. Pick ups were quite unorganised and was just left waiting until they arrived to the hotel. Also the guide was also the driver so it was hard to hear him over the vehicle when sat at the back. Also it was very warm and at one point we were told we could use the toilet but had to be back within 10 mins but were then left waiting in the bus for 40 mins…”

“I highly recommend booking this activity combo for your trip to the Atacama desert. I booked this excursion in advance as I did not want to show up in San Pedro de Atacama with nothing booked as I only had three days in the area (but note the town is FILLED with tour companies offering similar excursions, so you probably can book once you get there). each of the excursions was carried out perfectly, from communication (they make a whatsapp group the night before to discuss what to bring/expect and transportation) to the guides themselves, who were all FANTASTIC! the guides were very knowledgable, helpful, and kind. the company was…”
