A city tour of Santiago includes a visit to the historical center, where you'll see Plaza de Armas, the post office building, the Municipality, La Moneda Government House, and Santa Lucia Hill.

Breakfast at the hotel. Transfer from the hotel in Santiago to the airport for a flight to Calama. Upon arrival, meet at Calama airport and transfer (regular) to San Pedro de Atacama. You will have a half-day excursion to the Valley of the Moon. Located a few kilometers from San Pedro de Atacama, amidst sharp rocks and unique contours of the Cordillera de la Sal, the Valley of the Moon is a geological wonder, part of the Los Flamencos National Reserve. During the excursion, you will marvel at the captivating forms of the landscape, making you feel like you are walking on the surface of the moon. In the second half of the day, enjoy an unparalleled view of the Andean mountain range and its volcanoes. As the sunset approaches, golden and red tones will appear on the desert, revealing a truly breathtaking panorama. A truly unforgettable excursion for you. Transfer and accommodation at the hotel.

Day 3: San Pedro de Atacama

 After breakfast at the hotel, we embark on a full-day excursion to the Atacama Salt Flat, high-altitude flat lagoons, and Socaire.

We then travel to the Atacama Salt Flat, Salar de Atacama, to visit the Chaxa Lagoon and the Flamingo National Reserve, where we observe three out of the six different flamingo species existing in the world. The journey continues to the town of Toconao, where we visit the San Lucas Church and the Campanario Tower. Return to San Pedro.

Day 4: San Pedro de Atacama

 Breakfast at the hotel. Tatio Geysers and Machuca (half-day regular tour) Today, we will visit the impressive fumaroles of the Tatio Geysers. "Tatio" in the language of the indigenous people who once inhabited these slopes means "Crying Old Man." The geysers are located at an altitude of over 4000 meters above sea level. Hot water fountains appear at sunrise from 06:00 to 07:00. At this time, the fumaroles of water and steam reach their maximum height, and hundreds of "puddles" with boiling water present a stunning sight. Our trip starts early in the morning to witness the sunrise in one of the most important geothermal fields in the world: the Tatio Geysers. There are more than 70 fumaroles, from which steam jets emerge, forming pools of boiling water. The most amazing part of the day is the sunrise, with the contrast between the bright blue sky and the clean steam of the geysers. In the center of this impressive natural landscape next to the Andes, we will enjoy a refreshing breakfast, which will also help us warm up, as the temperature in the mornings is -2°C below zero. Then, we will visit a rural pool where you can enjoy a bath in the hot springs of Cordillera. Returning along the road to San Pedro de Atacama, we will observe the beauty of the landscape, its valleys, local flora and fauna, highlighting charismatic vicuñas and vizcachas. Afterward, we will stop in Machuca, an Atacameño town consisting of only a couple of houses made of straw, thatch, and cactus wood, where its inhabitants engage in tourism and offer products from Andean craftsmen and typical cuisine, such as llama meat, sopapillas, and empanadas. We will also visit the beautiful San Santiago Church, the patron saint of the town, and a small wetland where flamingos, ducks, and other birds live. Included: entrance fee to Tatio Geysers.

REVIEW №3- Shamali De Vaz

Dear Anna, Alexandra, Iona and the rest of the team at Ada Tours
Feed-back from a happy, satisfied customer!
A very big thank you for your very efficient services, Hospitality and most importantly your patience throughout the tour of my client. Dr. Chrysantha Mendis is very happy with the entire Tour. You did a fantastic job by organizing a detailed tour package covering 7 countries, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, Peru, Argentina, and Brazil. Dr. Mendis has enjoyed all the countries though he could not do a few tours in Peru which is understandable due to political unrest. We will recommend Ada Tours to all our clients in Sri Lanka and will start promoting your tours in our website.
Best wishes and kind regards,
Shamali
REVIEW №4- Carol
Hi Anna, thank you for the update on the glasses. I’ll wait and see what happens! Alan and I are now back in the UK. We loved our trip to the Pantanal and Bonito. Our guide, Alessandra was brilliant with lots of knowledge and very considerate and helpful. The only hitch we had was on our flight back to Rio because the second leg of the trip was cancelled and we were rescheduled to a later plane and our luggage was mislaid. Fortunately it arrived in Rio a day later, before we flew home. Thank you for arranging the trip.
Best wishes Carol
REVIEW №5- Stacey Robertson
Hello Anna and Natalia,
Thank you for all your help with our trip! I know our group was difficult, and I appreciate your patience with us. We loved the tours, the horseback ride, and the absolutely beautiful lunch at the vineyard. Our guides and drivers were fantastic, especially Luis. And the hotels were perfectly located. It was such a convenience to be centrally located in both Lisbon and Madeira.
I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday and I look forward to working with you in the new year!

REVIEW №9- Matt, Adventurebug Worldwide Ltd.
Everything went really well. As always we had to make some adjustments and the local guide and team on the ground were very responsive and took action professionally. I have no complaints about this :)
The clients were very pleased with the tour and all arrangements.
Changing the few meals at the end on Isabela was not an issue and the local team did a good job organizing this for me.

Many thanks again Ana!
