Description

Katarpe Valley is located 5 kilometres north of San Pedro de Atacama, which is a commune in the Antofagasta region of Chile. This beautiful region is an important cultural point in the country. It is also full of several different natural points of interest. And I would like to help you discover its magic on this half day biking adventure.

On this trip, we’ll enjoy riding across the lovely Katarpe Valley. During the ride, you’ll have the pleasure to contemplate many lovely mountains and dunes. We’ll also visit the Tunel and the Quebrada del Diablo. These are two great points in San Pedro de Atacama, and are fantastic places ripe for exploring and discover.

This trip is available both in the morning and in the afternoon. We will be riding for 3 hours and throughout the trip you will experience an elevation gain of approximately 200 meters. As a result, I recommend that participants are in good physical condition.

So, if you are up for this half-day biking trip in the Katarpe Valley, do not hesitate and send me a request! I will be happy to guide you through San Pedro de Atacama.

Are you looking for a mountain biking trip in a different part of San Pedro de Atacama? If you are, then come and join me on this half-day option.

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.

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’

The trip was a great experience with a wonderful view! However, unfortunately the tour description does not fit with the actual tour. There was no breakfast with acclimatisation and the duration was shorter. Most important the tour was not guided by Christian, but by some of his employes which did not speak English so we didn't get much explanations except some fragments that we understood in Spanish. Therefore we were a litlle disappointed concerning the guide of this tour.

Are you up for a rewarding adventure - go for the Lascar Volcano. Our very experienced guide Christian Fernandez made sure everything was in place for a great experience, from safe driving to making breakfast to setting a good pace for reaching the top without being too affected by the altitude. Stunning views and a great sense of accomplishment, our thanks to Christian and explore-share.com for a truly memorable hike. Best regards, Erik (37) and Christopher (30), Norway
