Atacama Desert Tours from San Pedro

Tatio Geysers at Sunrise

The Tatio geysers at sunrise tour is the most booked activity in the Atacama, a 4am pickup to reach the geyser field at 14,000 feet as the steam columns catch the first light, with breakfast on site. The three-day combo bundles it with the other main tours at a saving.

Valley of the Moon

The Valley of the Moon sunset tour is the classic afternoon: salt caves, dunes and the view from the ridge as the Andes turn red. The shared sightseeing tour and the guided desert tour follow similar routes with different operators.

Lagoons and Red Stones

The Piedras Rojas, altiplanic lagoons and salt flat full-day tour reaches the high lakes of Miscanti and Miñiques and the flamingos of Chaxa; the triple tour covers the same three stops. The Baltinache hidden lagoons tour is the half day where you float in salt pools.

Stargazing and Altitude

The stargazing experience is the top-rated night in San Pedro, telescopes under some of the clearest skies on earth; it does not run around the full moon. San Pedro sits at 8,000 feet and the geysers much higher, so arrive a day early and drink water. Most tours cancel free up to 24 hours before.
