This agency is to be avoided ! We booked a tour including the Humberstone visit with this agency. While the guide was much involved and very passionate, the bus was very old and obviously not maintained. It broke down on the verge of the desert 75 km away from Iquique. We were told a replacement bus was supposed to pick us up but it never arrived (it was never sent actually). After 4 hours waiting in the middle of nowhere,we (15 tourists including kids) had no choice but to take a regular bus back to Iquique (at night!)

My experience was wonderful because of the beauty of the nature, the colour of the lagoon is impressive, a place worth it to visit. The bad part was the the service delivered by Tarapacá Travel, seems that they only care of taking money and nothing else. I say that because in our way there the van broke down... ok things happen and no blame in that, so despite of that “incident” we decided to enjoy our journey by ourselves because our guide was busy trying to fix the van!! Meanwhile under our excitement we were walking with out knowing over dangerous Phreatic zone, But how we could possibly would know without our tour guide guy. Thanks God nothing bad happened but what about if something could happened? Because we didn’t count with anything that could assist us in these cases, I mean, we were in the middle of nowhere without any gear or equipment in case of an emergency such as oxygen, water, blankets etc!! If wasn’t for a friendly guy who came to help us I don’t know what possibly could happen. The ideal is that a business that call themselves professional should have no only the emergency equipment but a radio system to keep in touch or be able to seek help. No impress at all with Tarapacá Travel Agency... no even a decent apology. If you are interested on visiting the laguna Roja I recommended it ???? % the place but go through another agency that operate professionally considering your comfort and safety.

We booked a return tour from San Pedro Atacama to Uyuni salt flat. Overall the tour was amazing. We were lucky to have Wilson as our guide. He was driving carefully, giving a lot of info about the sights (in Spanish only), and he is also good at taking photos, which was useful at the salt flats. Communication prior to the tour was good too, Gabriel was always available to answer our questions. The slight downside was dealing with addional requests. Another couple from our group didn't get the private bathroom they paid for. The change of the driver in Uyuni, after the main part if the tour was finished, was a bit of unpleasant surprise. If you join this tour pack soap, sanitiser and toilet paper, as hygenic facilities are basic.
