San Pedro de Atacama - tours & walking - advice
Hi,We will be in chile for two weeks and are thinking of going to San Pedro de Atacama and take an organized tours to see Valle de la Luna, Salar de Atacama and Tatio Geyser - the question is how much walking these tours involve? is it short distance or rather long? Person i am traveling with has bad knee and cant walk long distances (longer than approx 10-15min). What is your experience?
Also which of the tour operators would you recommend? or not recommend? we were thinking of Desert Adventure, Cosmo Andino or Maxime Experience...
Thank so much for your advice.

El Tatio Geysers have very minimal walking - 5 minutes tops.Salar de Atacama - a small 2 minute walk to view the Flamingos. You'll mostly be in the car and just step out to take photos or have a brief insight from your tour guide.
Valle de la Luna - this does have a 15 minute walk involved at one point to walk up a large sand dune. You can skip this though and take in all of the viewing points from Death Valley from just near your transport.
In summary - not much walking and you'll be fine! Jump into the Photo
