The lodge in Atacama was wonderful, a real oasis in the desert.
The guides in Atacama (Jorge & Willy) were quite knowledgeable about history, geography, geology and current events. Willy was quite a little fire plug, plodding us along on us treks up hills or around the geysers on a cold morning. Jorge insisted that we were all capable of the trek through the Valley of the Moon and, thanks to his perseverance, everyone (woman on crutches, 4 youngsters and my klutzy self) made it to watch the sun go down.
Food was good, fresh. Maybe a little more than I needed. Enjoyed the picnic lunch on the lagoon tour the best (avocados, tomatoes, grilled chicken sandwiches).
The tour was good!
