4 days in San Pedro de atacama - optionsCountry forums / South America / Chile | ||
Hello | ||
Re Buses from Calama /San Pedro. Its about a 3 hour bus ride either way, I think buses leave every hour or so. But you probably have to catch a 15 minute taxi from the Calama bus depot to the airport. Not sure of any good tour agents in San Pedro, heaps of them offering tours, even if you were recommended a good one, still could get put with any group to make up numbers, but roughing it in Salt Lake Flats is all good fun, adds to the experience. Check about time frame, could be leaving it a bit tight if you only have a total of 4 days and flights to catch. But definitely don’t miss out on tour, highlight of SA. | 1 | |
The bus ride from Calama to San Pedro de Atacama is slightly less than 2 hrs from my experience (I travelled on Tur Bus). Do check out Tur Bus website for the time, I think there are about 4-5 buses daily. | 2 | |
