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 road to San Pedro de Atacama itself is a breathtaking tour, depending on the landing time to Calama's airport. From around 8:00 AM to 04:00 PM ask about flexible time. From Domeyko mountain range, on the way to San Pedro de Atacama, we'll see the little 50 miles Salt Mountain Range, breaking the Atacama basin all along. Let's explore the Salt Mountain Range with some light hiking, looking for the perfect picture, in front of the Amphitheater, astonishing natural formation belongs to Los Flamencos National Reserve, some lookouts and everything that Moon Valley, the extraplanetary landscape has to offer us. Spectacular landscapes, that I really love. I'm always looking for the best way to show you the place, according with what you're looking for, like best timing to avoid crowds, or the best spot to enjoy the sunset. Please contact me if you have any question.

Our private tour of Moon Valley with Juan was absolutely fantastic! From the moment he picked us up at Calama Airport, everything was perfectly organized and seamless. Juan was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and attentive, making the experience truly enjoyable. The landscapes were breathtaking, and we ended the day watching a magnificent sunset over the valley - an unforgettable moment. A wonderful introduction to the Atacama - highly recommended!

Juan is a fabulous tour guide. He is remarkably knowledgeable about the geology, the wildlife, and the history of the region. Rather than spend the hour driving from Calama to San Pedro with a taxi driver, Juan picked me up and explained the geologic features that we were seeing all along the way. He gave an excellent walking tour of Moon Valley, and gave me lots of useful tips about places to eat and things to do. I give him my highest recommendation.

Juan gave us a wonderful introduction to San Pedro de Atacama after picking us up at the Calama airport. We spent several hours touring and on short hikes in the Val de la Lune, and enjoyed a beautiful sunset. We asked him for a recommendation for a good Chilean restaurant. He not only gave us a great recommendation but waited for us to check in and drive us to the restaurant.

Juan is an A+ guide! My family of 6 really enjoyed traveling with him over 3 days in the San Pedro de Atacama area. He picked us up from the airport and took us that afternoon to Valle de la Luna, giving us a comprehensive tour with some nice hikes to get a sense of the geology and views in this area. He is very friendly and knowledgeable, and his tours are completely customized to each client's interests - all 6 of us thought he was absolutely marvelous!
