Hi! I'm Fredy, a certified ecotourism guide with over 10 years of experience exploring and guiding in the stunning landscapes of the Atacama Desert and the Andes. I specialize in private tours for small groups looking to experience the desert in a truly personal, safe, and meaningful way. My connection with nature started early—organizing hiking adventures as a kid, not knowing it would later become my profession. After studying Ecotourism Project Management for 5 years, I moved to San Pedro de Atacama to turn my passion into a way of life. I offer personalized experiences that start with must-sees like the Moon Valley, the Tatio Geysers, and the Red Rocks, and extend to unique adventures for the more daring—such as volcano climbs, biking and treks along hidden trails. More than just tours, I create moments that connect you with the essence of the desert. I offer different packages depending on what you're looking for, with flexible itineraries that adapt to your interests—whether you're seeking relaxation, discovery, or pure adventure. What makes my tours truly special is the personalized attention and deep connection to the land. I don’t just take you to see the desert—I help you experience it. Every tour is private and designed around your interests, pace, and level of adventure. With over a decade of guiding in the Atacama Desert, I offer authentic insights into its geology, culture, and hidden wonders that you won’t find in a typical group tour. You’ll enjoy safe and comfortable transport, homemade meals in unforgettable settings, and the peace of mind of being with a certified, first-aid-trained local guide who’s passionate about sharing the true spirit of the desert. Whether you're looking for a full-day expedition or a half-day getaway, I can arrange all logistics—meals, transport, and experiences—so all you have to do is enjoy the journey.

Overview of your San Pedro De Atacama tour

This little corner of the planet, in fact, hides incredible yet unexplored treasures that I discovered while strolling between these salt and clay structures. These fascinatingly brutal formations, shaped by cataclysms and ancient waters, served as studies for NASA personnel to confront their theories about outer space and the similarity of the planet Mars. Science fiction addicts will discover the planet Tatooine where the Star Wars saga evolves its heroes like The Mandalorian. On the other hand, I will make you discover what scientists and film producers do not seem to know is the presence of salt-laden waters. This unforgettable swim will transport you to the Dead Sea and the saturation of these salt concentrations.

Freddy is awesome. He went above and beyond for our family if four (with teens). He was genuinely concerned to make sure our tours were tailored to our interests. He even prepared made to order pasta for a lunch in the field!

I spent three days with Fredy, and this was my first day. I was still getting used to the altitude (I live at sea level) but this tour isn't too high up so I could handle it. We went for a hike in the sand dunes and it was beautiful, I got to see some old mine sites and learn a bit about local vegetation. Then we went to the salt lagoons. They were beautiful and also swimming in them was amazing, I felt so light! Then Fredy made an amazing lunch. It was a great day!

Fredy was the highlight of our trip to Chile! We spent three days with him in the Atacama Desert. On this tour we were able to visit the Baltinache Lagoon and float in one of them! AMAZING! He prepared the most delicious burrito lunch for us right at the lagoon. It was to die for! He also took us to the Rainbow Mountains where we went on some hikes and he told us all about the geology and history of the area, we even saw wild donkeys! Fredy was an amazing guide, he is funny and knowledgable! Book him!

Fredy made this tour so much fun for us. He took us off road and showed us an incredible landscape. We had a few hikes as well as a swim in the salt pools, so it was fun for our kids to not just look at things. Also, our lunch was so good! Fredy has been in the area for almost a decade, so he's very knowledgeable and also entertaining and thoughtful. We booked him for two days and he made our trip to San Pedro so special.
