It is a complete South America tour package — hotels, transfers, guides, trains, flights coordination and excursions are all planned — but it runs as a tailor-made trip: you choose the date, the hotel category and the group size, and any day can be adjusted. Departures are daily, all year.
After weeks at high altitude, San Pedro de Atacama (approx. 2,400 m) is lower and warmer, and the desert is the perfect finale: lagoons, salt flats, flamingos and the Valley of the Moon, followed by an easy flight to Santiago.
Yes: the Altiplanic Lagoons of Miscanti and Miñiques, Laguna Chaxa in the Salar de Atacama and the Valley of the Moon at sunset. Stargazing tours can be added on request.
On the last morning of the 4x4 crossing you reach Hito Cajón (approx. 4,500 m), stamp out of Bolivia and into Chile, and drive down to San Pedro de Atacama (approx. 2,400 m) in about an hour. Chile’s agricultural inspection is strict: no fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, dairy, seeds or honey — eat or discard them before the border and declare anything you are not sure about.
Yes, on day 5. It is a moderate hike above 5,000 m after two days in Cusco; horses are available for part of the trail, and we can swap it for a gentler excursion on request.
Entry requirements for Bolivia depend on your nationality: many passports enter visa-free, while others need a tourist visa, which in some cases can be obtained in advance or on arrival. Rules change, so please check with the Bolivian consulate or your government’s travel advice before booking. Your passport must be valid for at least six months. Most nationalities do not need a tourist visa for Peru or Chile, but please confirm the rules for your passport.
Bring a mix of payment options: soles (PEN) in Peru, bolivianos (BOB) in Bolivia and Chilean pesos (CLP) in Chile. US dollars are accepted for many tourist services and cards work in the cities, but cash is essential on the Altiplano, where there are no ATMs.
It depends on the hotel level you pick — Essential 2★, Comfort 3★, Superior 4★ or Deluxe 5★ — and how many people travel together. The Rates tab shows the current per-person price sharing a double or twin; domestic and international flights are quoted apart.
