4.San Pedro de Atacama: Wildlife Safari and Photography Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 17 reviews · 4 hours · from $145Top rated

Join guide Juan Pablo for a four-hour wildlife and photography trip from San Pedro de Atacama. Search for guanacos and vizcachas at Quirquincho Pass, walk the wetlands near Machuca, then enjoy a 360-degree view from Putana Vade. Binoculars, spotting scopes and phone adapters are provided.

“It was fantastic and we saw lots of birds and animals. Juan Pablo really not only knows his birds and animals but also where to find them. We had some fascinating conversation about our travels to see wildlife and birds as well. I really enjoyed this tour and would recommend for anyone who wants to see and experience the local wildlife. I promise you will see wildlife that you will not be able to see on your own. At times I was looking right at it but could not ‘see’ what o was ‘seeing’ until he explained to me.”
