This was a fabulous interesting night and we were lucky enough to have a brilliantly clear sky. Unfortunately our photo's of the evening weren't great, but we managed to fit in another evening elsewhere in Chile and saw it all again in a different perspective. Overall this was a great evening and it was very informative.

We took this tour last year. The guide doesn’t speak English at all, and keep repeating the same information over and over. They also don’t let you move and ask you to be next to them all the time. Amazing place but awful guide

We booked this tour and were picked up at our Hostel el Punto at 8:30 am. The guide Filipe spoke fluently English and was very inspiring and enthusiastic telling a lot about the Elqui Valley, guiding us around very professionally. We had enough photo-stops and he offered me even to sit on the front seat to enable me to take better pictures while driving. The highlights like a visit to the dam and the Pisco area were brilliant as well as the provided lunch. One tip: although La Serena can be cold and windy in November, once you are in the mountains it is very hot up there, so take care of that by choosing smart clothings.
