- loganrC1695MG0 contributionsDriest place on Earth - But far from a dry experienceMy first time being out of Canada couldn't have been any more fun! We went and visited so many cool locations and learned about the history everywhere we went. I was able to try new foods, visit amazing restaurants, see incredible sights all day and stargaze after dark. They were super helpful and accommodating the entire time. I am definitely going to be coming back to see more hidden gems and see this beautiful country in all the seasons.Written 13 January 2025
- 379bwc0 contributionsExcellent Tour company and guideWe’re in love with Chile and Fabian, his company SORBAC have a lot to do with it. From the moment we contacted, Fabian was very responsive and catered itinerary for our family’s liking that showcased the best of San Pedro de Atacama including hidden gens at a very reasonable price. Once we arrived, their customer service was top-notch. Fabian is knowledgeable and engaging guide that our 6 teenagers loved to interact with. We particularly loved the authentic vegetarian food recommendation from Fabian. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for a truly unforgettable Chile trip.Written 4 January 2025
- alvarovurun0 contributionsAtacama at it's best...not a trip, better to call it an Expedition!!The best trip ever. If Atacama is already a unique place to discover in the most exotic ways, Sorbac is the name rto take you there. The guyus are incredible...they do not only plan and prepare everything from early beginning to the end of each day, they 'shgare' the day with you. Desertsm camping, going up high...everything is done with such joy and lightness, but very much focused in their responsibility. They are so incredible that i must name each one: Fabian, Pedro, Checho, Titan..they are the men in Atacama...and more.Written 5 November 2024
- 7jaib0 contributionsThe splendor of Atacama.Sorbac tour was excellent. Our guide Freddy was knowledgeable, witty and helpful. The scenery was marvelous and the landscape interesting. The tour was well organized. All sights in Atacama are worth the visit. A visit in the springtime is better as it is not that crowded. Comfortable hiking footwear and layered clothing preferable.Written 13 October 2024
- Polinha270 contributionsKnowledgeable, Passionate and Fun crew!Super recommended! The team has an amazing knowledge about the area mixed with a great passion to tell the stories and is ready to answer any questions on top of providing all the information without hesitation. Very friendly and fun crew! The food is nice with sweet details and variety - honestly the team has made our experience, a group of 18 girls for the period of 1 week, simple unforgettable -Written 19 April 2024
- rafatreuffar0 contributionsSimply the best!Sorbac did an amazing job. The crew is impecable, very kind, patient - specially dealing with such a large group like ours - with a large knowledge of Atacama and routes, the food was simply delicious, fresh and high quality! Simply the best!Written 10 April 2023
- esthermvasconcelos0 contributionsThe best agency in Atacama!Sorbac is one of the best agency trips I have ever travelled with. The whole experience is unique - since the first contact to book the tours until the tour itself. The tour guides are impecable and they make you feel comfortable and safe all the time. The foods (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are incredible. If you would like to garantee the best experience while in Atacama go with Sorbac!Written 28 February 2023
- nverma220 contributionsCould have been better organized.Guide was very good and accommodating. I thought it was not well planned for children though. We had to bike 3 miles to the entrance; by that time, the children were tired. We only spend 5 min at the Devil's throat. Other tours drop you at the entrance of the Devil throat so more time can be spent at the destination itself. In addition, tour started over 30 minutes late as guide had to bring 4 bikes to our hotel one at a time (why not use a pickup truck to drop them off). My other advice is that the tour should have started earlier in the AM in the summer. Finally we had 2 children, but they only brought 1 kids bike; again poor planning. She was able to ride bike on flat terrain, but it wouldn't have been safe to ride in the devil's throat. BTW helmets are required at the Devil's throat, another piece of info we were not told.Written 2 January 2023
- EarlGrey1230 contributionsUnreliableI booked and paid for this cycling trip but Sorbac cancelled - pretty shoddy It was the one of the main reasons I flew all the way hereWritten 27 December 2022
- R4636BOjulianf0 contributionsAbsolutely Outstanding ExperienceSorbac did an absolutely AMAZING job in hosting us, and showing us key parts of San Pedro de Atacama. The crew is very knowledgeable so we learned many things while touring. They were also very kind and patient, especially dealing with a large group. The quality, freshness, & taste of food was wonderful and my group kept going on and on about how good he food was. The food was good, but also the presentation and handling of serving was stupendous, especially for being out in the middle of nowhere sometimes. If I do Atacama again I only want to go with Sorbac, otherwise I don't want to go.Written 24 October 2022
- benguild0 contributionsBest optionHad a blast with Sorbac! Hands down, they were the highest quality tours, and the guides were great. I would prioritize booking with them if you can!Written 8 October 2022
- mariananoir0 contributionsThank you Sorbac team!Exploring San Pedro de Atacama was an amazing experience. Not only because the desert is an extraordinary place, but because Sorbac team went above and beyond to make sure we had the time of our lives. Fabián, Freddy, Kai, Christian and the rest of the team behind the scenes, including the amazing chef, did an amazing job making sure we were REALLY well fed and taken care of while exploring the amazing scenery the desert has to offer. 100% recommended.Written 14 September 2022
- F5357SApatrickl0 contributionsSorbac is what tou need in Atacama to make your trip even betterSorbac is exceptional when it comes to customer satisfaction. The agency took care of all details and was instrumental for making the trip to Atacama even better. All guides are more than experts and passionate on their work. Special highlight to Pedro Pablo and Christian that were with us for the most part of the tours, and are excellent. Pablo and Fabian were also great! Moreover, the food was really good.Written 30 July 2022
- MichelleSYHan0 contributionsThey care about your experience!I had an incredible time with Sorbac - I went on 3 days of tours with them, and for 1.5 of those days, I had only two other people in my group. For the other 1.5 days, we were joined by a few others, but the tour was never more than 10 people. Kai, Fabian and Pablo all went above and beyond. Pablo even spent more than 2 hours with us having lunch after the tour had concluded for the day. The attention they pay to your experience is evident. My favorite day tour was to laguna lejia - that was probably one of my favorite days on my entire Chile trip (and I was in Chile for almost 3 weeks!) Thank you SORBAC!Written 10 January 2022
- Chileantrip0 contributionsHigh Quality, Service and exclusivityI was in San Pedro de Atacama for September 18. I had read good comments about Sorbac, but they really went over the top. Incredible organization, locations, security, transportation and above all high quality service and meals. Cocktail at sunset, breakfast, lunch everything. Fabian is a top in every way. I went with a friend who had a birthday and Fabian organized the cake for her birthday on one of the tours and it was really amazing. You have to go to San Pedro and trust Sorbac for all the tours.Written 11 October 2021

I was in Atacama with my partner in August 2023 and we did the bike tours to Garganta Del Diablo and the ascent of Cerro Toco with Sorbac. The experience was excellent! From the email service for reservations with Monica, to the support from Silvia (a sweetheart 🫶🏽) when we arrived in San Pedro, to the support of the guides JP and Christian on the tours. JP and Christian are experienced mountaineers and were extremely patient and careful during both routes. Hiring Sorbac was crucial for us to have positive and unforgettable experiences! The work they do is exceptional and very committed. I recommend it 100% and would hire it again without a shadow of a doubt! Thank you, Sorbac team! And until next time 🙋🏽♀️

A great experience, the place is beautiful.
It is worth remembering that it is necessary to adapt to altitude. It's also not for beginners, you need to have a minimum level of physical fitness to avoid getting sick and ruining your group's tour.
You need to be very well dressed, even if it is hot in São Pedro, you are going to an extremely high place with sharp winds. It is essential to have suitable footwear. I went at the beginning of October and it was still very cold, even with 3 layers it was freezing.

Achei uma experiência fantástica. Hospedagem e receptivo de outro mundo. Aprendizado em todos os momentos. Vi muita vida em um local que não esperava que existisse tanta beleza. Vi muito respeito aos antepassados, as pessoas e a natureza. Sou eternamente grato.

Yuri amigo!! Ficamos felizes de saber que Spa superó suas expectativas e que tenha se conectado com toda essa beleza que você não esperava. Isso que é legal, quando a gente se sorprende com as coisas simples da vida. E que esse respeito pelos antepassados e a natureza esteja sempre em você. Abrazo grande amigo, a gente se vê numa próxima aventura.
