ATACAMA WUESTE TOURS REISEZIELE IM NORDEN VON CHILE

  We booked this tour to see the Salr de Surire and the volcanoes en route, since we suspected that we did not have enough fuel to do this trip with... read more our rent-a-car (we did do Chungara on our own). Our Spanish is almost non-existent, as was our guide's English, but this was not a hindrance to having a great time - our guide stopped the van everytime we found something interesting. Volcán Guallatiri was smoking at the time, and we got some good photos of this, we stopped at various places around the Salar itself, including the Termas de Polloquere where we had our packed lunch. Lots of flamingoes (Andean and Puna), tinamou, rhea, vicuñas and vizcachas - a brilliant day out.

  We spent 3 days in Lauca National Park with Mayuru tours.
The service was perfect. They picj-up us at the border with Bolivia, and then we visited all the... read more best places of this area.
The driver was also a guide and he expained us a lot of things.
We had some problems at the beginning to organize the trip (the communication by email was hard ant tey took many days to give an answer) but at the end we figure out all the dtails and we had a really goo service.

  Zu dieser Jahreszeit gab es heftige Regenfälle und die Zufahrt zum Salar war auf der Hauptroute gesperrt. Es existierte jedoch eine Umgehung auf absolut passabler Allradpiste. Das einzige Fahrzeug was... read more auf der Route unterwegs war/ die Route kannte, bei wunderschönen trockenen Wetter und Sonnenschein war das moderne AllradFahrzeug von Mayuru. Francisco der Driverguide, der mit einem Pärchen unterwegs war, lud uns ein, ihm in unserem eigenen Fahrzeug zu folgen. Immer wieder stoppten wir und erhielten auch von ihm Abklärungen. Ein wunderschöner Tag in absoluter Abgeschiedenheit an diesem fantastischen Fleckchen Erde ohne weit und breit einen weiteren Touristen zu sehen!! Absolut empfehlenswert!

  we did this tour in February which we had booked with you and operated by Maxim Expérience in San Pedro. We were very satisfied with the 2 full day... read more tours that we did with the driver / guide. The hotel la casa de Don Tomas was superb. Everyone was very efficient and Gabriel who helped us with the booking was was very professionnel. Thank you for making our expérience in the Attacama desert a mémorable one.

  Traveled with my wife for part of our honeymoon.

We took the 3 day tour and it was an adventure unlike any other. Lake Chungara, Salar De Surire, Hot... read more Springs, Putre, Parque Lauca

Our guide, Helmut, was terrific. He was experienced and knowledgeable about all facets of the area. The sites were simply incredible. The Altiplano is one of the most unique destinations we have ever experienced. The wildlife and scenery were unparalleled.

The altitude change is serious. You must drink a lot of water and not over-exert yourself. If you follow your guide's lead, you should be able to adjust.

  Realicé visitas guiadas con Mayuru alrededor de Putre y en San Pedro de Atacama. En el primero con un tour prácticamente en solitario para mí y en el segundo como... read more parte de un grupo, y en ambos la organización del tour fue estupenda. Gabriel y Cecilia estubieron pendientes de que todo saliera a la perfección en todo momento.

Los guías fueron agradables, dinámicos y profesionales en cada una de las excursiones. Los paisajes espectaculares. En definitiva, muy recomendable.

  We had a 3 days tour from Arica with Mayuru, visited Arica, Putre, Parque Lauca, Salar de Surire. That was impressing. Exactly what we wanted. Landscapes are mindblowing. Our guide... read more was great and very carefull. Definitely one of the highspot of our Chilean tour!

  Wir, ein Paar um die 60ig aus der Schweiz, hatten den Wunsch eine Reise durchs Chilenische Hochland (Altiplano) zwischen Calama und Arica zu machen. Ein Reisebüro hat uns davon... read more abgeraten das Stück zwischen San Pedro und Putre per PW zu fahren und uns einen Nachtbus angeboten. Nicht so Mayuru Tours. Sie, namentlich Gabriel, sind auf all unsere Wünsche eingegangenen und es hat alles bestens geklappt. Von der Abholung der Domestik Flugtickets in Santiago, via Abholung in Calama und dann die ganze Reise, San Pedro, Lagoons Chaxa, Miscanti, Menique, Geysir det Tatio, Pica, Colchane, NP Volcano Isluga and Vicunas, Salt Lake Surir, Lake Chungara, NP Lauca, Puter bis Arica.
Unser Chauffeur Francisco und die Reiseleiterin Maggie/Maguy waren sehr kompetent, konnten all unsere Fragen beantworten, waren herzlich und hilfsbereit. Sie haben alle Wünsche erfüllt und es war ihnen nie zu viel wenn wir anhalten und noch ein Foto und noch ein Foto machen wollten.
Auch dank ihnen war es eine 7tägige unvergesslich traumhafte Reise. Wir sind von den bilderbuchhaften Landschaften des Chilenischen Hochland, den Leuten, dem Wein, dem Pisco Sour 🙂 etc etc hell begeistert.
Wir können Mayuru Tours mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen.

  We had 8-day tour from Arica to San Pedro. The first 5 days were in a form of private tour with a driver/guide. This part was great: you get to... read more go to little visited places and experience the vastness of north Chile. Our driver was friendly and knowledgeable. We hardly ever got off the road, which I regretted a little, but we got to see a lot as it is. Accommodation and food was nothing more than basic, which is OK, and what you could expect from such remote places. When we got to Sand Pedro De Atacama for the last 2.5 days, we fared well from our guide and were set for 3 short excursions with one of the local operators. This part we enjoyed less: the excursions where in packed buses and I often felt like a member of a herd which is pushed from one meadow to the next. It seems like everyone in San Pedro takes the same excursions which have fixed routes at fixed times. So, everywhere we stopped we had 2-20 buses, of other operators, offloading their passengers together with us and departing together with us. We sometimes felt that we were given too short of a time to appreciate a location, while in at least one case we were not allowed to visit the destination... That's right, we drove a long way to Piedras Rojas, but the place is closed due to rehabilitation. You don't get to see it at all. The hotel which we were accommodated in was 10 min walk from the center of town and had only basic facilities (no wifi in the room, poor breakfast, etc.). The promised transport to the airport in the last day was again a seat in a bus with pre-set departure time which meant for us a long wait at the airport - we opted to pay for a private taxi instead (not that expensive) and get some more relaxing time in the town.
Overall the cost of this trip was high in any standard, yet we felt that, especially in the last three days, we didn't get our money's worth. If I did it again, I'd probably rent a car for the entire duration, or at least for the last part in San Pedro. I'm sure that we would have had a different experience in San Pedro had we drove our own car, or paid for a taxi to avoid the crowds, make better use of our time, and visit some spots off the beaten track.

  First the landscape from Arica-Putre-Colchane-San Pedro de Atacama is really beautiful.
Seconde the organisation and the tour self was well organized, I can really recommend it. I absolutly enjoyed and... read more was very satisfied.
Many thanks to Mayuru Team, so I could realized my plan. Muchas Gracias

  I experienced two amazing, very well organized tours in Chile (one in the north, one in patagonia).
Both tours included all the highlights I was looking forward to see and... read more all the guides were very competent, attentive and kind. I can totally recommend

  I am very happy with this company’s service and organisation.

I am also very impressed with the tours where all three chicas were very kind and professional.
... read more /> So I thank you for excellent service, professionalism and organisation.

I am very impressed. I also like Hotel Dunas, clean and comfortable with a kind young girl in reception.

Oh and finally Cecilia (who met me on arrival) was very good too and answered any and all questions I had for her at all hours.

It’s fantastic to see many excellent women working for this company.

  Precioso el tour y la agencia muy responsable, el conductor muy prudente para manejar y muy instruido en toda la historia que conlleva el recorrido. Lo recomiendo al 100%.

  We had an amazing time thanks to our guide Juan and our driver Roberto! The scenery was beautiful and the tour was well-planned.
