ALTIPLANO TOURS AND AGENCE DE VOYAGEDESTINATIONS TOURISTIQUES AU NORD CHILI

  Hermoso viaje todo muy tranquilo, el guía excelente nos explicó cada lugar, vale la pena llegar arriba el lago hermoso...

  Schon vor 5 Jahren war ich mit Mayuru Tours unterwegs.
Weil es mich so überzeugt hatte, habe ich auch dieses Mal dort gebucht.
Mayuru Tours ist für mich der perfekte... read more Reiseveranstalter im Norden Chiles. Und mit Francisco als Driverguide hat man den Besten Guide, den man sich wünschen kann. Er ist witzig, kompetent, fährt sehr gut und zuverlässig (und falls doch mal etwas passieren sollte (auf meinen Reisen ging immer alles reibungslos) dann ist er erst noch Automechaniker... :-)) (und so ganz nebenbei ist er der Chef von Mayuru Tours).
Preis/Leistung stimmen überein.
Ich werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen und mit Mayuru Tours unterwegs sein 🙂
Herzlichen Dank Mayuru Tours und Francisco für die tolle Reise!!! 🙂

  Contratamos 4dias (3noches) i 4tours en San Pedro de Atacanama. Nos sentimos bien acogidos y se cumplieron con creces nuestras expectativas. Gracias al trato dispensado por Cecília i a los... read more guias de los tours.
Merece una mención especial Lorena (que fué nuestra guia en "lagunas amtiplánicas" y "geyseres del Tatio" por su profesionalidad y simpatia.
En cuanto al "hotel Dunas", sencillo pero acogedor, tuvieron un tracto muy correcto.
Gràcies per tot, de tot cor.

  The 2 days tour was amazing, we learnt a lot about Chilean culture and history thanks to our guide. Our driver was very nice and experienced. We felt safe on... read more despite the many crashed cars on the road.
The selected restaurant were good, and the hotel in Putre was very nice as well.
We saw many beautiful landscape and wild animals. We ended the tour with a dip in the thermal springs, that was an amazing experience.

  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.

  Une agence familiale à très fortement recommander.
Nous sommes partis d’Arica jusqu’à San Pedro de Atacama pendant 8 jours et l’organisation était vraiment parfaite. De la réservation des hôtels,... read more des repas et en passant par Alfonso notre guide chauffeur en 4X4, tout était vraiment top !

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 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.

  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.

  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 !

  San Pedro de atacama, paisajes increíbles, lo pasamos lindo. Los tours y sus guías muy bien preparados, amables y puntuales. Disfrutamos cada día.

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.
