Atacama Salt Flat Day Trip from San Pedro de Atacama including Los Flamencos National Reserve and Socaire Village

We decided to go by car, on our own, and it was the best decision! I went to the Tourist Information agency in San Pedro de Atacama, across from the Plaza de San Pedro de Atacama church, and they gave me all the needed information, including that we needed to book the time on the website and arrive at Socaire's ticket booth 1 hour earlier to retrieve the ticket.

We are lucky to have Pedro as our guide. He is funny and knowledgeable. I loved the stories he shared, the ideas he has for great photos shots, and the music he put on during the trip too!

Had the best time enjoyed it thoroughly. The driver was very good at what he did, and the tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. Fun and courteous would recommend to anyone must do.

Albeit this is a long day with much driving, it is well worth it. The lagoons are beautiful but the red rocks asnd surrounding coloured mountains are spectacular!

It was a pleasant day with Jay. The Lagoons are beautiful with flamingos, colors and mountains. The Antiplanic part is at an elevation of about 14000 feet so you may have some breathing issues and a slight headache on the walk/hikes. They provided both a light breakfast and lunch. They drop you off at the beginning of Caracoles Street and not the hotel at the end!

Very good tour, got a bit of altitude sickness after a couple of hours above 4200 metres but returned to normal when coming back down to less extreme altitude. Good breakfast though didn't feel like eating too much. Lunch was a bit ordinary.

Pedro Rohas was an outstanding guide; communicative, informative, amusing, and helpful. Favi was a great driver, fully in command of the vehicle at all times. The tour covered a lot of ground but was one of the most beautiful landscapes and natural beauty I’ve ever experienced.

Our guide, Victor, was the best! Very knowledgeable, kind, and attentive to every need. The tour shows you many sides of the Atacama desert and keeps you in awe at every turn. Would gladly do this tour again!

Not worth the money... 1 Yeah, the places that are visited are amazing 2 The guide we had wasn't really explaining much, only when asked. She was nice ofc but I didn't feel she's doing the same explaining as other guides I heard with other groups... 3 At the end they left everyone at their hotels but I had to walk cause it was too far. It left a bad impression overall. Compared to other trips I had in Chile this one is expensive compared to what you get from it.

The tour does do a good job of tickboxing the key places in Atacama but it does feel it needs better planning. We arrived at the wetlands to view flamingos at 1pm. The sun was beating down and was super hot and pretty much everyone wanted to do anything but be in the open heat. Even the salt Lake tour could be better with some history explained. The only good part was that lunch was done well. The tour ended at 3 (drop to hotel) which itself tells you how got it was. Overall would recommend shorter half day tour in the day.
