Discover the incredible wilderness and landscapes of the Andes on this 4-day trek in Atacama, in the northern area of Chile.
San Pedro de Atacama is located in the Antofagasta region of Chile. Not only does it boast stunning landscapes, but it is also a spot full of pre-columbian native ruins. On this 4-day adventure, I offer you a program with a great variety of experiences to enjoy Atacama in a wonderful way. You will have the chance to explore the rivers, geysers, and mountains of this incredible area.
First of all, on day 1, weâll meet in San Pedro de Atacama and go to RĂo Salado and RĂo Grande. On day 2, weâll visit Machuca, a small village in the middle of the mountains, and then reach Geiser Blanco. Then, on day 3, weâll trek to the summit of Soquete Volcano, located at 5,410 meters above sea level, and return to Geiser Blanco. On day 4, weâll explore El Tatio, one of the largest fields of geysers in the world. Finally, weâll visit the Puritama hot springs and go back to San Pedro de Atacama.
Because this is a challenging trek, it is a requirement for this trip to have a very good fitness level. Of course, I will be there to help and guide you all the way.
So, are you ready for a fantastic experience in the heart of Atacama? Then send the request to book your place now and prepare to discover this amazing area.
You can also take a look at this program to Licancabur Volcano, in the border area between Chile and Bolivia. Check it out!

We had a fantastic trip with Carlos as our guide. We were able to summit Mont Blanc with Carlosâ guidance and couldnât have asked for more. There were some adverse weather conditions on the final day of our trip and so Carlos changed the refuge bookings to allow us to descend safely albeit with a long summit day. Explore-Share were great throughout with communications and Nico in particular was very helpful. Would definitely recommend but make sure to come prepared as it is a very tough climb!

On 2 July, Carlos and I climbed Mont Blanc. We had a friendly atmosphere throughout the tour. Thanks to Carlos's professionalism and knowledge of the area, i felt completely safe all the time. Thanks Carlos :-)

Although we werenât able to make it to the top due to a last minute weather change, we truly enjoyed the expedition and Carlos as a guide! We will be trying again next year đ
