Journey details
This private full-day tour takes you deep into the remote Andean highlands, reaching landscapes at approximately 4,500 meters above sea level. Traveling in a private vehicle with your dedicated guide, you will ascend from San Pedro toward the Licancabur viewpoint, where we enjoy breakfast surrounded by volcanoes and wide desert views. We then continue to the Quepiaco River wetland, where water, native vegetation and local wildlife contrast with the arid mountains. The route leads to Monjes de la Pacana, enormous volcanic rock formations sculpted by wind and erosion. Later, we explore the Quisquiro Salt Flat, Laguna Negra and the Aguas Calientes sector before enjoying lunch and returning to San Pedro. The private format provides a more comfortable pace, personalized attention and more time for photography and observation, subject to weather and operational conditions.
