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.
Important
I can work all the days , just need to book with time because there are more people booking me !

Full Day Geyser del Tatio Tour
During this excursion we will leave for the heights of the altiplano before sunrise to see the Andes cordilleras taking shape in Chinese shadows, while the grazing light of the morning will show us the awakening of animals in an atypical color palette.I guide you along a small canyon towards the sulphurous waters of the baths that emanate from the bowels of the earth. Here I will make you appreciate the magic of this marvelous site between fumaroles and thermal rivers.
Full Day Atacama Salt Valley and Salt Lagoons Tour
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.
Discovering the andean salt flats
Salt flat roads During this long day I will take you to caress the sky of the Andes dotted with plains occupied by a multitude of lagoons, volcanoes and salars. The road passes above the summit of Mont Blanc. We will cross the rock formations of Tara which seems to have come straight from the imagination of Salvador Dali. An ideal circuit to discover the jewels of the Altiplano.
Exploring of the moon
The Valley of the moon and its miysteries This excursion, in the middle of the mineral world of the valley of the moon, will make you discover impressive formations and structures. We will walk in this movie set with incredible panoramas.
ROCKS AND HISTORY
Hierbas Buenas - Arco Iris The old mountain range of Domeyko, which was the cradle of the first populations who inhabited this hostile universe, hides a surprising morphology with dazzling colors. This site is home to the oldest rock formations on the planet. During our excursion, we will discover how the ancients lived at the time of the domestication of camelids.
The day of the lagoons
After the pick up in the town, we head towards the south of the Salar de Atacama basin. We will visit the awakening of the Flamingo in the middle of the salt flat. After 1 hour on a very good path, we will discover the beautiful Laguna de Piedras Rojas where we have the possibility of doing a mini trek in the area. After lunch in the field, we will visit the area of the Miscanti & Miñiques lagoons before heading towards the town.
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
