We went on the 4-day tour from San Pedro de Atacama with Expediciones Estrella del Sur Bolivia. It was an incredible experience. The scenery is spectacular and we were lucky to have Pedro as our guide. He’s a very good driver and was always checking in to see how we were getting on, especially given the altitude. He gave us lots of details about all the places we visited, as well as the local culture. It was clear that he enjoyed sharing his homeland with us. What’s more, he respected our pace and allowed us to enjoy each place at our own leisure.
As for the organisation of the tour, everything was very well managed. Although there was no heating in the accommodation, the beds were perfectly made up with blankets. The meals were varied and plentiful, and were adapted for those with dietary restrictions.
It has been an unforgettable experience, not only because of the spectacular landscapes of the Salar de Uyuni and the Bolivian Altiplano, but also because of Pedro’s warmth and professionalism.
