Reviews for Atacama Desert vacation in Chile and Bolivia
Ian Gutsell review 22 Mar 2026
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
The Atacama Desert, Bolivian Altiplano and Solar De Uyuni were amazing and lived up to the expectations of my bucket list. The unexpected part of the trip was the morning spent at the working mines in Potosi - extraordinary!2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
The days are long - some really early starts! Just go with the flow to get the most out of everyday. A lot of the days are at higher altitudes which can be a bit tiring but the experiences are amazing and tiredness is soon forgotten.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Tried to use local resources as much as possible - buses between Uyuni/Potosi/La Paz. Travelled largely on my own therefore was able to engage more with local people.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
The tour operator was fab. Whilst the trip was planned largely via Whatsapp - Federica travelled to see me personally in Santiago before the traveling started - really appreciated the personal touches and check-ins whilst traveling. All went smoothly.Holiday Reviews
