    Wonderful tour with breathtaking scenery
    The tour agency was very receptive with questions. They picked me up on time early around 5 AM. The agency creates a whatsapp group and gives updates on pickup time. After pickup, we drove in a comfortable van to Camina. The valley is beautiful with different colored soil on the mountains. We had breakfast there. Then it took a two to three hour drive on mostly country roads to reach the three lagoons: Red, Blue and Yellow. There are really no restrooms along the way. It is best to eat less, so you don't get caught in an awkward situation. Keep some snacks with you, as there are no shops and you are in the trip for 6 hours without water and food. Along the way, the roads can be daunting as you see steep falls on the side. No worries as the driver is experienced and capable. The ride is tough on the body as it is pretty bumpy. After you come back to Camina, you get a hearty lunch/dinner. Then we drove back to Iquique. Along the way you have a stop at a Petroglyphs attraction. It was a good tour and the scenery of the Atacama desert is wonderful. You reach your hotel around 8 PM.

    Not professional
    This agency is to be avoided ! We booked a tour including the Humberstone visit with this agency. While the guide was much involved and very passionate, the bus was very old and obviously not maintained. It broke down on the verge of the desert 75 km away from Iquique. We were told a replacement bus was supposed to pick us up but it never arrived (it was never sent actually). After 4 hours waiting in the middle of nowhere,we (15 tourists including kids) had no choice but to take a regular bus back to Iquique (at night!)

We booked the tour online, everything paid and confirmed via Whatsapp. However, Mario cancelled the tour 10 min before the departure time, due to an incomplete group. We never got refunded, only two "I am doing it today" messages the week after. Mario does not replied to messages any more and still no refund, three weeks later.

Avoid this scam.

They canceled the Salitreras Tour, the reason was that they did not reach the minimum number of people, but they did not notify about their decision even though on their website they indicate that in these cases they will contact the client to give notice. They did not answer emails, emails or WhatsApp messages that I sent them when I tried to ask about the status of the tour. Terrible experience, I do not recommend this agency unless you want to risk losing time and money, as well as ruining your vacation plans.

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
