Only book your international flights once we have confirmed that your tour is a guaranteed departure. We will not refund flight costs if you have booked flights for a trip that has not been notified as a guaranteed departure.
You must consider that once in Chile, you must take an additional transfer flight to the departure city of the tour, in this case, the city of Arica, which you can do with any of the local airlines (www.latam.com or www.skyairline.cl). The same is valid for the return flight, from the city of Calama.
If you wish to arrive before the official start date or stay after the end date, please request additional nights at the time of booking and we can make the reservation for you.
This route combines the best tourist sites of Peru with the culture of northern Chile. We will travel through areas that need to be known in Peru and then cross the border where we travel to the north of Chile enjoying the desert landscapes of both the interior and the coastal area. And we have incorporated stops in the most beautiful places with really impressive views and history in both countries. A truly recommended tour.
