ATACAMA WUESTE TOURS REISEZIELE IM NORDEN VON CHILE

  I highly recommend this agency to visit the stunning Altiplanic region around Putre. We did 3-day private tour with the wonderful guide Francisco who knows everything about the region. The… read more agency is very professional and the tour was tailored on the basis of our request with no strict times or rush. Definitely recommended!!

  Quiero felicitar a todos los miembros de la agencia, estamos muy satisfechos por todo. Se destacaron en todo ámbito; puntualidad, compromiso, preparación, y coordinación. Sin duda, los recomiendo en un… read more 100%!!! No se van a arrepentir ✔️
En lo personal, estoy muy agradecida con Cecilia, ya que el día martes en la noche me sentí mal por la altura, y estuvo en comunicación conmigo hasta la madrugada, apoyándome en todo lo que le pedí y requerí. Además, nos hizo un city tour, mostrándonos todas las picadas y buenos datos (lo que NADIE HACE)
Se pasaron chicos! Muy profesionales!

  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.

  Ma fille et moi avons réservé un circuit de 4 jours avec Maruyu dans le Nord du Chili (depuis Arica jusqu’à Iquique en passant par l’Altiplano, parc Lauca, lac Chungara…).… read more Nous sommes revenues enchantées !!
D’abord les premiers contacts par mail : notre interlocutrice à l’agence était réactive et a répondu à toutes nos questions dans des délais rapides. Elle nous a même proposé une guide francophone, ce à quoi je n’avais pas pensé au départ, et de réserver nos billets de bus après le circuit, ce qui était très sympathique de sa part. Tout était bien organisé, clair et transparent. A noter que j’avais contacté d’autres agences, et entre celles qui n’ont pas répondu du tout et celles qui mettaient des semaines à répondre ou à ne pas répondre…bref, seule Maruyu nous a convaincu de son sérieux !
le circuit : très bien organisé, Francisco, notre chauffeur, était un excellent conducteur, très prudent et attentionné. Quant à Andrea, notre guide francophone ce fut une très belle rencontre !! Les paysages étaient sublimes (malgré le mauvais temps, et oui c’était l’hiver bolivien et c’est le seul point négatif, l’agence n’avait pas prévenu que le temps pouvait être mauvais à la période où nous y sommes allées), nous avons pu voir une faune très riche, que personnellement je n’attendais pas forcement à ces altitudes.
Le fait d’avoir une guide francophone avec nous a été un vrai plus pour comprendre la vie dans l’altiplano.
Pour l’altitude : ma fille a été un peu malade le 2ème jour mais rien de bien grave. Quant à moi aucun problème : pas d’alcool et peu de cigarettes dans les jours précédents et un deux cachets de diurétique les deux premiers jours m’ont permis de très bien supporter l’altitude

Pour finir, je recommende vivement cette agence, même si les tarifs ne sont pas donnés !

  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!

  My husband and I had a hard time finding a one-day tour to Lauca National Park from Arica. Mayuru came through for us though! We were picked up at the… read more exact time they said they’d be at the hotel by an English translator (Maggie) and a Spanish-speaking driver/guide (Mario). They immediately made us feel welcomed. The vehicle was clean and well-maintained and Mario was a safe driver. We learned a lot about the towns around Lauca in addition to the park. Our tour also included breakfast and lunch. There was a lot of road construction going on up the mountain but Mario knew the time slots to keep us from having to wait an additional hour to get through the construction. We thoroughly enjoyed the private aspect of the tour and getting to learn about the culture through Maggie and Mario. Highly recommended! The company is also great with email response.

  A fantastic round trip with great program, very experienced guides, nice accommodations and excellent support.
Due to flight problems we missed our first day, but Mayuru Tour adjusted our tour… read more perfectly and was always available.
Thank you very much! We would always book again with this agency!

Un fantástico viaje de ida y vuelta con un gran programa, guías muy experimentados, hermosos alojamientos y un excelente apoyo.
Debido a problemas con el vuelo, perdimos nuestro primer día, pero Mayuru Tour ajustó nuestro tour perfectamente y estuvo siempre disponible.
¡Muchas gracias! Volveríamos a reservar con esta agencia.

  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.

  Mayuru Tour far exceeded our expectations, introducing us to the unforgettable landscapes around San Pedro de Atacama and in the Chilean Altiplano. Our guides were superb–translator/guide Maggie and driver/guide Mario… read more in the Altiplano, guides Felipe and Mauricio in San Pedro. They all introduced us to places we would never have encountered on our own. Highest recommendation to Mayuru Tour. They know the territory. With them, we got a real sense of what must be some of the most extraordinary places on earth.

  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.
