The Philosophy of our Expeditions

Our expeditions are designed to provide our guests with the best and most varied cultural information about the Atacama Desert. In order to do that we hire professional guides with an academic background in archaeology, ecology, and anthropology of the Atacama Highlands.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES

Our guests will receive the best possible information on the archaeological and anthropological heritage of the Atacama Desert via exclusive presentations in the Hotel Tulor. Guide services and presentations are headed up by the archaeologist Ana María Barón, an expert on the Atacama, who directs and constantly trains our guide team.

Our Expeditions may be tailored to the interests of our guests, as long as this is requested in advance.

Our Fees Include

A program presented by bilingual guides who are experts on the Atacama Desert. The vehicles used are either normal or 4 wheel drive, and are equipped according to the needs of the expedition, up to 12 passengers. If an expedition will be out in the desert for most of the day, a box lunch will be included, as well as non-alcoholic beverages and mineral water.
