Why this journey?

Travesía Atacama - Uyuni is the ultimate travel experience, discovering the unearthly world of the Altiplano through some of the world’s most isolated hiking routes and our remote explora camps.

Travesías are a private programme from start to finish. This means an <i>explora</i> guide and a driver will always be by your side throughout the journey, steering your exploration into the depths of Uyuni, the Atacama desert, and all in between. Together, you will plan your own exploration, according to your pace, your interests, your calling.

Your own exploration

The perfect match between simplicity and comfort, rest and exploration, luxury and the essential. The hotel, camps and lodge throughout the travesía is thought out to help you restore your energy and nourish your desire for exploration day after day, stop after stop.

explora Atacama, Uyuni lodge and camps

We have roamed and studied deeply the Atacama desert and the Altiplano for over 15 years. Such experience has allowed us to grow the roots and knowledge necessary to make sure all travelers keep safe while exploring with us. All our vehicles are equipped with satellite communication systems, GPS technology, VHF radio, and oxygen supplies. Not to mention all guides and drivers, who have been highly and locally qualified for this travesía. So many years of preparation have been rewarding: in 2019, we were named South America’s Leading Expedition Company for the 8th consecutive year, in the World Travel Awards.

Safety through expertise

<i>explora</i> guides know and love the territory like their own home. All guides who work with us speak both English and Spanish, and are exceptionally trained and qualified by our own specialised School of Guides. They all carry the Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification, which means they bear the essential knowledge and skills to support people in remote territories. But above all, they are passionate professionals and ever-curious human beings.

Guiding you through

Centuries of pure beauty, untouched. The only way to understand it is to feel it. Breathe it. Touch it. And yet, we are a grain of sand amidst its colossal landscapes of colour-filled lagoons, steaming geysers, peculiar rock formations, salt flats, mountains, volcanoes, and deserts. Besides the Himalayas, the altiplano is the only other location in the world that bears this rare kind of geography.

The beauty of the remote

Civilizations were born, potato and quinoa were vastly cultivated, and a number of species began to be domesticated in this very land. The Altiplano in the heart of the Andes is where Chile and Bolivia meet and meld their history, beliefs, customs, colours, and peoples
