We did the W trek with Pepa as our guide. It was fantastic. Pepa was great company, immensely thoughtful and made the experience better than it would have been without her. She even carried coffee for us to have at lunch! The preparation from Chile Nativo was excellent, with detailed packing lists and helpful hints. The trek is full on - bring blister plasters. The food on the trek was excellent - even for me as a vegetarian. Overall we think we'll be back for more. Thanks Pepa!
Our private tailormade trip through San Pedro de Atacama exceeded every single expectation. Nacho's deep knowledge of geology, indigenous Lickanantai culture, and secret photography spots made every day feel magical. The private 4x4, gourmet lunches in the middle of salt flats, and luxury stargazing night were perfection.
