Awesome, 4-person tour with a fabulous guide! You start early in the morning (6:00-6:30 am) and drive to the flamingo reserve. We were the first to enter the park and enjoyed a nice walk prior to breakfast. Breakfast was very nice, including hot eggs. After another hike, we headed to a small village (Socaire) where we interacted with a woman knitting gloves and purchased incredible volcanic rocks. We had a nice stroll through Tocanic village where we made our way around the water and lush fruit trees. I'm not sure our hike was supposed to be part of the tour but it was a great spot! I highly recommend this tour. Make sure they don't try to put you on another tour if the # of sign-ups is low. You are paying for a small group and it was part of why the tour was great (in addition to the guide).

We did the Gautin and Quesar hike with Emilio of "Enjoy Atacama" tours. He was very friendly and informative. We took several pictures and videos of our hike and posted it. At the end of the hike, he served us brilliant food and wine! since we had just come from Bolivia, we wanted to do soemthing different than Bolivia. So, we skipped the lagoons and did these two hikes - which were easy and enjoyable by the kids and us!

We booked a return tour from San Pedro Atacama to Uyuni salt flat. Overall the tour was amazing. We were lucky to have Wilson as our guide. He was driving carefully, giving a lot of info about the sights (in Spanish only), and he is also good at taking photos, which was useful at the salt flats. Communication prior to the tour was good too, Gabriel was always available to answer our questions. The slight downside was dealing with addional requests. Another couple from our group didn't get the private bathroom they paid for. The change of the driver in Uyuni, after the main part if the tour was finished, was a bit of unpleasant surprise. If you join this tour pack soap, sanitiser and toilet paper, as hygenic facilities are basic.

Did this trip in February. To sum it up it consists of 11 hours in a minivan to visit three churches in Chiloe, none of them is interesting unless you are an academic interested in the technical details of wooden church building in the mid 19th century. However good the guides are (and our guide was excellent) this piece of Chile is not worth visiting. The drive to Castro in Chiloe island comprises a 70km motorway run to a ferry and then more than two hours driving along a scruffy, semi industrialised road with no redeeming features to Castro. On arrival the only logical question is "why bother". There are so many beautiful places in Chile I would suggest that people give this excursion a swerve and prevent the total waste of a day of their lives.
