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.

Overview of your San Pedro De Atacama tour

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.

Spectacular. It was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure and it was very very worth it to see the wildlife along with the geysers in the area. Juan was impeccable with the timing and a very knowledgable guide. He clearly loves his job, and the like me, enchanted with the natural landscape. 10/10.

Juan is an exceptional guide. We had a wonderful time. He had a great deal of knowledge about the fauna and about the geysers. He prepared a wonderful breakfast for us and found a lovely spot where we enjoyed it. I highly recommend him as a guide.

We really enjoyed this tour. There was so much wildlife on the drive up that I didn’t even care if we made it to the geysers but then we saw them and I was in awe! The day seemed perfect and yet it kept getting better and better! We had a delicious picnic lunch with an incredible view and more wildlife!
