  Mayuru Tour far exceeded our expectations, introducing us to the unforgettable landscapes around San Pedro de Atacama and in the Chilean Altiplano.

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.

  I guided a 13 Day Atacama tour from March 4-15 this year. I contracted a van and driver for the tour to go from San Pedro to Putre, with… read more stops in 3 national reserves, the Vicunha NR, Flamingos NR and Lauca National Park and on to Arica, with 3 more full days.

Mario, our driver, and guide excelled in every way. He really knew all the areas we went to and knew people at every stop. I have been operating tours in South America and living in Brazil for 43 years, and have had a lot of drivers. I will now insist in having him drive all our tours from Arica!

  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 !
Gabriel le fils du patron de cette petite agence parle couramment le français et vous organisera un tour sur mesure simplement par e-mail.
Les prix sont tout à fait corrects par rapport aux prestations fournies et aussi par rapport à la concurrence.
En conclusion, je recommande à 200% Mayuru Tours.

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.

  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.

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.

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.

Un 7.

  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.

  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.

  Excellent! Thank you so much Mayuru. I loved this trip. The service – from first emails to the tour guide & driver – was excellent. Everyone was friendly,… read more helpful, knowledgeable, professional and efficient. I have actually done this trip twice in 3 years because the the scenery is stunning and Mayuru make it possible to see all of its beauty without large crowds or coaches.
I am a female solo traveller and I felt totally safe and very well looked after the whole time. Thank you so much. It was the perfect trip, and I would do it all again without any hesitation.

  We used Mayuru Tours for a 5 day/4 night trip through the Chilean Altiplano from Arica to San Pedro de Atacama. Overall the private tour was well organized, the guide/… read more driver was courteous and professional and the Altiplano beautiful.

Preplanning – For our travels through the Chilean Altiplano I was looking for a company to get us from Arica in the very far north of Chile to the popular desert gateway of San Pedro de Atacama. Not many companies service this area and it was difficult to find a company that would answer my emails. Even the folks at Mayuru Tours would take more than a week to respond. With a little persistence, however, we were able to arrange a tour that met our needs. I should also mention that the tour was one of their set itineraries with very little deviation. On the plus side, they do have numerous options to choose from.

Guide – Francisco was extremely professional and courteous. He spoke only Spanish, but spoke slowly and clearly such that even Don who speaks very little Spanish, was able to understand most things he said without my translating them by the end of the trip.

Itinerary – This was a driving tour, so there were a lot of hours in the car. The landscape is beautiful, but it’s a lot of short stops. Many of the sights are not must-sees, but if you are interested in this area of Chile it is a good way to see it. They sent us a detailed itinerary, in English, with what we would see each day. Any minor deviations in this itinerary were discussed with us beforehand. Also beware that several days are at high altitude, so it is wise to acclimate before beginning this trip.

Food and Accommodations – This is not a high-end tour. Hotels and restaurants in this region are basic. I think they arranged the best that they could, but there just isn’t much to choose from. That said, rooms were generally clean and comfortable and the food fine.

Transportation – The vehicle was a 4×4 Toyota Hilux, comfortable, in good condition and able to handle the rough roads. We had no transportation difficulties. Francisco was an excellent driver. In fact he had driven trucks for the mining companies for many years before becoming a tour driver and had an intimate knowledge of the roads, hotels and restaurants along the route.

Cost and Payment – We paid 733USD/person. This covered most everything except for a few small entry fees and dinner in Pica. The same tour with an English speaking guide would have cost 956USD/person. No deposit was required. We paid in cash when we met our guide and driver on the first morning.

Final Thought – I would definitely use Mayuru Tours again and think that overall the trip was a good value for the money.

  Sabíamos que nuestra fecha era complicada por el invierno altiplanico, así lo advirtió la agencia. De todos modos quisimos hacer el tour de Arica a Iquique a traves del altiplano,… read more y nuestro guía Francisco se esmeró por ponerle humor, darnos información interesante sobre cada lugar donde estábamos, visitar lo más posible. En sus palabras, "hay que ir y ver cómo está". Encontramos mucha fauna, un tour muy fotografiable. El guía también fue muy respetuoso de nuestros tiempos e intereses, logrando crear un entorno muy ameno. El vehículo y la conducción impecables. Un aspecto a mejorar: el hotel de Putre, no tiene calefacción y pasamos frio. Sacando eso, ¡Los volveríamos a elegir sin dudas!

Excellent tour in this touristy corner of Chile well worth the cost, much cheaper than getting a similar tour organised from Australia. Can recommend unreservedly.
