The main way to visit and get to know the places in the Atacama Desert is through local agencies. In recent years, the number of operators has grown exponentially in San Pedro de Atacama and there is something for every style of traveler.
We are talking about an extreme destination and we need to reinforce that the safety of the traveler must always come first.
Many branches have opened without registrations and without any minimum security criteria. When walking through the streets of San Pedro de Atacama it is very common to be approached by people selling tours without a fixed agency. We don’t recommend this type of approach and we warn against taking tours in unmaintained cars and without prepared guides.
For a long time, it was common to walk around San Pedro and search for agencies door-to-door. With the arrival of this large number of agencies where not all criteria are taken into account, we prefer to recommend only reliable services.
Which agency to hire in Atacama
Our suggestion is that you book your tours with registered and well-recommended agencies. The best agency we can recommend in San Pedro de Atacama is FlaviaBia Expediciones, a company we’ve known since it started operating and which has an excellent track record in terms of traveler satisfaction.
For those who value a good experience, tours without a large number of people, comfortable and safe cars and, of course, professional guides, this is undoubtedly one of the best alternatives for your trip.
We recommend FlaviaBia's work transparently. We know the work closely and have already done all the activities offered, testing and guaranteeing the quality of the service.
You can contact the agency directly using the form and receive all the information you need for your trip.
The FlaviaBia Expediciones agency was set up by Flavia, who raised her family in the desert and today is the benchmark for quality service in San Pedro de Atacama.
