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.

The geysers don't work at certain times, they're active all the time, day and night. Normally most tours go early morning to see the sunrise over there, but is too crowded and after visiting the Geysers, in the way back, they do many stops on the way, to see wildlife and enjoy the view. I normally do all the stops in the way up, while the sunrise is happening (is going to be cold, frozen temperatures) and the first rays of sun are touching the mountains, watching the wildlife only us not many people around, the same in the Geothermal field, where we'll see around 15 intermittent discharge of water ejected turbulently and accompanied by over 80 steam fumaroles. Pick up your breakfast bag from your hotel to eat it in the car, just for environmental reasons. This tour is 180 kms. round trip.
- Picking up early morning from your Hotel, timing depending on the season. - Going north-east, driving 90 kms. up to 4300 AMSL (14000 FASL). - Stopping by the road to enjoy the Andean high plateau's scenery and wildlife. - When we arrive to the geothermal field we'll walk around, understanding how do they work. - Way back, doing some more stops on our way. - Coming back to your drop off location *If you have a specific itinerary in mind send me a message and I'll customize the tour for you.
