Reviews for Atacama Desert holiday in Chile and Bolivia
Ian Gutsell review 22 Mar 2026
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The Atacama Desert, Bolivian Altiplano and Solar De Uyuni were amazing and lived up to the expectations of my bucket list. The unexpected part of the trip was the morning spent at the working mines in Potosi - extraordinary!2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
The days are long - some really early starts! Just go with the flow to get the most out of everyday. A lot of the days are at higher altitudes which can be a bit tiring but the experiences are amazing and tiredness is soon forgotten.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Tried to use local resources as much as possible - buses between Uyuni/Potosi/La Paz. Travelled largely on my own therefore was able to engage more with local people.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
The tour operator was fab. Whilst the trip was planned largely via Whatsapp - Federica travelled to see me personally in Santiago before the travelling started - really appreciated the personal touches and check-ins whilst travelling. All went smoothly.Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
