What our customers think of Explora Atacama

Explora Atacama trips scored 4.6/5 from 18 reviews

Our guide for the first half was so helpful - we did a lot of things - petroglyphs, Rainbow Valley, cactus hike, salt flats, geysers and stargazing. The hotel itself was very nice and we were able to stop in the town and walk around a bit (then walk back). Read the full review

Explora has the very best telescopic observatory in San Pedro de Atacama. Allied to this, they also have the best guides who can bring the astral experience to life in the best star-gazing destination in the world.

From leisure overland tours to see once in a lifetime marvels, to advanced horseback riding, high altitude volcano ascents and technical mountain bike rides – Explora has something for everyone. The awe-inspiring astral tours are not to be missed either.
