Hi there! I've been working as a guide in the Atacama desert since 2009, I used to work as a driverguide for different tour agencies and some hotels in San Pedro de Atacama, so thanks to that, I know every corner of this region and every place to visit, like Geysers, Andean lagoons, Wetlands, Salt flats, landscapes that look like other planets, hypersaline lagoons where you can float effortlessly, and many others. From late 2018, I'm working independently, with my own vehicle; a Toyota 4runner 4WD, up to 4 passengers plus the driver. Now a days, I'm providing privates tours away from the crowds in different timings, fully customized, depending on the special interests the travelers may have, like Bird-watching, Photography, Wildlife, Culture, Geology, Stargazing among others. A guide is not someone that show places and give information, a guide is someone who make the link, between the place, the culture, the nature, and all what the travelers are interested on, to give the most personalized experience and filling their soul, in a real connection. I really love my job and I think I'm living the dream today, because I always thought that one day my personality, charisma, enthusiasm and love for nature, will be my tools for what I do for a living, so here I am, doing what I love, sharing with people coming from all over the world and showing one of the most beautiful and unique places on earth, The Atacama Desert. - SERNATUR (National Service of Tourism) Q Stamp of tourism quality This stamp means reliability, transparency, security, customers satisfaction and service improvements. -LGAI CHILE S.A.

    My husband and I had a wonderful time on this tour. We learned about local village life, saw plenty of wildlife and experienced stunning vistas. Juan was full of information and was always kind and courteous. He also provided a very tasty lunch!

    This is the third tour we had with Juan in two days. We truly enjoyed his company and the knowledge that he has about the geology, history and culture of the area. The viewpoint he took us to watch the sunset is unbeatable. We were the only people there and the view of the valley below and the sunset without the crowd is fantastic. Highly recommend Juan as your guide.

    Juan is very knowledgeable about the area. His experience and knowledge makes this a memorable tour. He is very flexible and accommodating. He kept the pace of the tour slow to fit our physical abilities. He took us to a secluded and scenic area for our lunch which we enjoyed very much. Highly recommend Juan as your guide.
