Carolina was awesome and Sergio our driver was amazing getting us to and from over the bumpy roads. A beautiful day, beautiful views in Atacama
Such an amazing day from start to finish! Victoria was great at explaining the plan and our driver for us first in line to see the flamingos! Truely worth every minute and aswell Victoria added in an extra short stop to see the tropico de Capricornio! Fabulous guide and driver and worth seeing when you come to the desert! Also great views of flamingoes! It is cold so advice is accurate to bring warm clothes but it warms up as the day continues! Also food was excellent that was included
