Description

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, we’ll meet in San Pedro de Atacama and go to Río Salado and Río Grande. On day 2, we’ll visit Machuca, a small village in the middle of the mountains, and then reach Geiser Blanco. Then, on day 3, we’ll trek to the summit of Soquete Volcano, located at 5,410 meters above sea level, and return to Geiser Blanco. On day 4, we’ll explore El Tatio, one of the largest fields of geysers in the world. Finally, we’ll 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!

Carlos is a very accomplished rock climber, speaks great English, and is fun to be around. We felt very safe while climbing with him on the Sharks Fin, and learned a lot too.

Carlos was a professional and committed guide! We had three great days. He was friendly and guided us savely up to mt blanc. i dont understand the one bad rating carlos got. In my opinion it think it was an bloody amateur which shouldnt have been on mt blanc in the first place. Let me say one thing. If you have no experience on higher mountains and in climbing in general, there is no place for you on mt blanc. train hard, prepare and come with the right expectation!

The whole trip was excellent. Explore share did a great job coordinating. Carlos is an experienced guide and effective teacher. I felt safe with him the whole time we were on the mountain. The weather was terrific and we summited just as expected. I highly recommend Carlos Vasquez for Mont Blanc.
