Travel Agency: Luna Dorada Tour Operator
Luna Dorada came highly recommended by a friend, and since the itineraries and prices across different agencies seemed fairly similar, I decided to skip the comparison shopping and booked directly with them online in advance. It was a decision that paid off handsomely.
The tour experience was genuinely delightful. Despite being a group tour organized through outsourcing, the guide provided incredibly detailed and informative introductions in both English and Spanish, ensuring that every tourist felt well-cared for. As the only Asian and a solo traveler in the group, I received extra attention and care from the guide, which made the trip even more memorable 🙏🏻
From my observations, the tours offered by various agencies are quite comparable, and the overall experiences tend to be very similar. The key is to find a salesperson or agency that you feel comfortable with and trust. They can make all the difference in your travel experience.
Additionally, the charming small town of San Pedro de Atacama is brimming with tour agencies, so it’s perfectly feasible to sign up for a tour on the day you arrive. This flexibility can be a real boon for spontaneous travelers.
To provide some context, here are the base prices in CLP that I gathered from publicly available online information:
– Geysers: 30k
– Moon Valley: 25k
– Stargazing: 20k
– Rainbow Valley: 30k
