Description

Join me on this guided archaeological tour in the Cordillera de la Sal and let’s travel back in time to discover about the Lican Antai village and its origins!

I will be happy to safely guide you during this one-day hiking tour and visit places of great historical and archaeological importance for the Lican Antai village, such as the Tulor Village and the Pukará de Quitor.

Located in the Norte Grande natural region, near San Pedro de Atacama, the Tulor Village is one of the most important ancient villages of the Atacama Desert with adobe buildings dating back 3,000 years ago. As one of the oldest archaeological sites in the country, participants will be amazed with this guided archaeological journey.

This XII century fort that was declared a National Monument in 1982, is overlooking the valley of the river San Pedro making it possible for tourist to enjoy one of the most beautiful natural views of the Atacama Desert.

About lead guide, Christian Fernandez:

I’m originally from Argentina, but live in Chile since 1998. Now I’m settled in the north of Chile, in San Pedro de Atacama, beautiful town in the heart of the Andean section of the dry Atacama dessert.

From there I organize many expeditions to beautiful peaks on a weekly basis. I’ve done more than 300 high altitude ascents, and more than 25 peaks over 6000 metres.

I speak English, Spanish and Portuguese.

It looks that company even do not know, that the guide yesterday canceled my trip. He said because of precast of electric storm. Sice that moment nobody from the company did not answer my phone. Weather around San Pedro was very nice. Of cause I do not know haw was on Pili. Anyway, I am horribly disappointed. Mirka

This is an easy assent! I ended up paying $200 for a two hour experience and an apple and piece of chocolate ( lunch 😳) If you plan on doing this hike which I highly recommend, don’t book it with these guys - total rip off!! You can go with a group for about $70 if you book locally from San Pedro! It’s a beautiful view from the summit! It’s not even hard to get there ( they drive you most of the way!) My guide was lovely, great chat, nice person but trust me $200 is a massive massive massive rip off for this ‘experience’
