Summer in the Atacama Desert: Private Tours for Families and Friends

Experience the desert with comfort, safety, and unforgettable moments with the leading agency in San Pedro de Atacama.

The end-of-year holidays are coming, and if you’re looking for a destination that combines vibrant nature, thermal comfort, and transformative experiences, the Atacama Desert is the perfect choice. In summer, the dry and sunny weather turns the region into an open invitation to adventure — with long days, clear skies, and landscapes full of life.

At Horizonte Atacama, we are passionate about this magical land. We design tailor-made private tours for families and groups of friends who want to experience the desert with freedom, safety, and attention to detail. Each itinerary is crafted according to the group’s rhythm and interests — from gentle walks to salt lagoon swims and breathtaking sunsets.
