Full Day Atacama Salt Valley and Salt Lagoons Tour
Joined 2023
This little corner of the planet, in fact, hides incredible yet unexplored treasures that I discovered while strolling between these salt and clay structures. These fascinatingly brutal formations, shaped by cataclysms and ancient waters, served as studies for NASA personnel to confront their theories about outer space and the similarity of the planet Mars. Also I will make you discover an unforgettable swim that will transport you to the Dead Sea and the saturation of these salt concentrations.

About Tour Guide Fredy L.
I create tailor-made travel experiences in the driest desert in the world, where I focus on small groups to take them to live the desert and Andes experience in a profesional , unique and safe way.
I started my outdoors life when I was just a kid, always looking for new adventures and places to discover, since I a young age I enjoyed arranging adventurous walks for me and my friends, and I grow up doing this without knowing that one day I would study ecotourism and make my hobbies my source of work.
After the highschool, I studied Ecotourism projects management for 5 years, This is why I moved to the Atacama Desert, to discovering and learning outdoors.
After 10 years in the desert working like a guide and learning about everything in this area I start to take my own guest to show the desert.
Now I spent most of my time working with outdoor activities, like climbing volcanos, mountain bike, exploring new areas, hiking and more.
I work during all the year here in the desert, doing full days tour and half days trips from San Pedro de Atacama, here is a lot things to do.
If you get a tour with me get ready for adventure , fun, knowledge, and a delicious food experience.
I can arrange all the meals, the transportation, and all the adventure.
Reviews
“Amazing variety and awe inspiring landscapes, great guide, fantastic stay!!”
Our few days in Atacama were awe inspiring and wonderful. Freddy looked after us, remotely, everyday (after being called away for an emergency) to make sure we were doing well and he left us in the very capable hands of his colleague, Daniel. Freddy made our itinerary, Danny took us there and any other place we showed interest in. We were very appreciative of his good humour and knowledge as well as his good driving skills in Freddy’s car. Daniel was very friendly and knowledgeable and spoke perfect English, thank you Daniel! We will most definitely go back to Atacama and would recommend Freddy to anyone! Thank you Freddy
