Bonjour,
Je suis actuellement à Salta et je pensais initialement aller à San pedro de Atacama et rejoindre ensuite uyuni. Mais une agence ici m'a parlé de la possibilité de ne pas faire ce gros détour par san pedro de atacama mais de faire un tour de 3/4 jours directement dans le sud de la bolivie (tupiza, uyuni, le lac colorado, lac verde, etc.) depuis salta. Le paysage ne serait pas très différent. Qu'en pensez-vous ? Et quelles agences pouvez-vous recommender ? Si je fais le choix de ne pas aller à atacama, vaut-il mieux prendre une agence une fois arrivé à tupiza ou bien depuis salta, les prix pour faire ce tour seront les mêmes (cette agence "salta connection" me propose 2900 dollars argentins pour 3j ou 4200 pour 4j. Je n'ai pas encore trouvé d'autres agences ici à salta qui propose ce tour en bolivie. Vous en connaissez d'autres?)?
Je dois me décider d'ici demain, j'espère que quelqu'un tombera sur mon post avant.
Merci beaucoup,
Julien
Oui, le plus simple, rapide et le plus économique est d'aller á Tupiza via La Quiaca/Villazon en bus commun et de prendre un tour vers Uyuni á Tupiza.
Salta demeure trés loin loin d'Uyuni, on ne programme de visiter les calanques de Marseille depuis une agence Lilloise.
Tout mon respect aux agences de tourisme Salteñas...un temps soit peu prédatrices...
Merci pour cette réponse.
Finalement je reste un petit peu plus longtemps à salta, donc j'ai plus de temps pour recevoir vos avis.
Notemment sur le fait de savoir si au niveau beauté du paysage, il y a une grosse différence dans les 2 itinéraires sur lesquelles j'hésite.
Merci,
Julien
Bonjour,
Je ne peux pas parler des 2 itinéraires car bien sûr (comme tout le monde sans doute, nous 'en avons fait qu'un seul)
Donc en ce qui nous concerne c'était Salta/ San Pedro de Atacama + tour de 3 jours vers le Salar d'Uyuni,
Salta/ SPA : tres belle route (en bus 480 ARS soit au cours officiel 40 € environ)par le paseo de Jama à 4500m (c'est la route qui passe par Salinas grande)
SPA : la "ville" en elle-même n'a pas grand intérêt le séjour y est malgré tout agréable (par contre tout est cher à commencer par les hébergements), Par contre autour il y a beaucoup à voir : vallée de la lune (et de la mort), les geysers de Tatio, les lagunes (différentes de celles du tour vers Uyuni car beaucoup de faunes), sans oublier l'observation des étoiles dans un ciel très pur et les possibles balades à vélo
Le "tour" : nous avons choisi un tour de 3 jours. C'était sublime et l'altitude (le 1er jour surtout à 4600 m) ne nous a pas trop gênés. C'était très bien organisé et nous avions un chauffeur très prudent et très arrangeant. Il y a le choix à San Pedro entre les tours operators, mais il y en a 3 qui se détachent du lot selon le conseils que nous avons eu sur place auprès de différentes personnes.Nous avons payé 75000 CLP par personne (non comprises les entrées du parc naturel), soit 100 € (en avril).Je pourrai vous donner les renseignements concernant les agences en MP, si vous le souhaitez.
Profitez bien de Salta qui est une ville très agréable et des environs qui ne sont pas mal non plus.
Cordialement
Bonjour,
Je suis finalement passé par atacama mistica, pour 70000/p (d'autres dans notre groupe l'ont eu pour 65000). Notre guide ne parlait pas un mot d'anglais et même en espagnol ne nous a donné quasiment aucune indications sur les lieux que nous traversions et ne partageait jamais notre repas ni ne tentait de s'insérer plus avec nous (à la différence des autres guides que nous avons pu croiser), c'était le minimum syndical. Décepton aussi quand on s'est rendu compte que nous étions logé dans un hotel de sel à 1h30 du salar de uyuni et il nous a demandé si c'était ok de ne pas se lever à 4h30 pour faire le lever de soleil mais plutôt partir à 9h, ce que nous avons finalement fait après petit vote des participants... Autant dire que je l'ai un peu en travers de la gorge car ce n'est pas ce qui était prévu au départ. Le voyage global n'en restait pas moins magnifique. Le véhicule a eu une petite panne en plein milieu du salar, mais ça n'a pas posé trop de problème. Autre déception aussi, mais je ne sais pas si c'est dû à la saison, mais nous n'avons pas vu de part du salar humide, où tout se reflète..
c'est certain que c'est dommage de n'avoir pas vu le salar au lever du soleil , c'est un de mes meilleurs moments du sud lipez ainsi que pour mes camarades du tour.
En avril le salar était déjà " sec". Pour Atacama Mistica cela doit vraiment dependre du chauffeur. Le notre nous a donné toutes les explications nécessaires, a répondu à nos questions et s'est arrêté à notre demande pour prendre des photos. Il est vrai qu'il ne parlait qu'espagnol et que j'étais la seule dans la voiture à le parler aussi, mais j'ai fait les traductions. Pour le salar d'Uyuni nous étions au bord du Salar ( et d'autres agences à plus d'une heure de là). Nous avions aussi le choix entre partir à 8h ou à 5h30 pour le lever du soleil. Nous avons choisi la 2 ème solution et avons négocié de prendre le petit déjeuner sur le salar ( ce qui n'était pas prévu au départ). Ce fut un moment assez magique. Pour les hébergements peut être qu'ils " tournent " entre les différences agences et que nous avons eu la chance que ce soit notre tour au bord du salar. Je suis désolée que votre expérience " humaine" n'ait pas été à la hauteur de vos espérances et souhaite que vous gardiez toutefois un bon souvenir de ce voyage même s'il est dommage de n'avoir pas vu le soleil se lever sur le salar.
Bonne continuation.
nous partons le mois prochain et envisageons de faire a peu près le même circuit.
Je souhaitais donc savoir si vous aviez rejoins Salta après le circuit en Bolivie. Et si oui quel était votre itinéraire?
Pour rejoindre Salta c'est assez simple.
Soit tu retourne sur TUpiza a la fin du trek si tu es partie de la bas (tupiza tour and co) soit tu arrive direct la bas.
Ensuite tu prends un taxi jusqu'a Villazon.
Villazon tu traverse à pieds la frontiére jusque la quiaca (prévoir du temps....ca nous a bien mis 2h en plein cagnard !)
à la quiaca direction el terminal de transporte (soit 15min a pieds du poste frontiére, soit prendre un taxi au poste frontiére).
La bas tu a des bus de facon trés réguliére qui descende direct (ou indirectement) sur Salta !

My partner and I are planning our 3-week trip to Ecuador for the summer of 2027. Yes, we’re getting a head start—we’re planning to visit the Galapagos Islands and want to make the most of our budget.
While researching online, I keep coming across ToutEquateur. Has anyone here used them before?
I’ve seen some interesting prices, especially for Amazon stays and Galapagos cruises, but I’m wondering if it’s worth booking through them or if I could get better deals by contacting lodges or boats directly (though I don’t speak much Spanish).
If you have any firsthand experiences to share, I’d love to hear them.
Hi everyone,
We're planning a trip to southern Chile in November. Here's our tentative itinerary:
Day 1: Arrival in Santiago, then a flight the next day to Balmaceda where we'll pick up a rental car to reach Coyhaique.
Day 3: Walk in the Coyhaique National Reserve, then continue to Puerto Chacabuco. Return to Coyhaique for the second night.
Day 4: Drive to Villa Cerro Castillo for a hike in the national park. Continue to Puerto Tranquilo and stay there for 3 nights.
Day 5: Boat tour on Laguna San Rafael.
Day 6: Day trip to Monte San Valentin Glacier.
Day 7: Excursion to the Marble Chapels, then drive to Puerto Guadal. We'll stay there for 3 nights.
Day 8: Walk along Lago Carrera and return to Puerto Guadal.
Day 9: Rio Baker Valley and, if possible, a glacier excursion.
Day 10: Drive to Cochrane and hike in Tamango National Reserve. We'll stay 2 nights in Cochrane.
Day 11: Walk in the Chacabuco Valley.
Day 12: Drive to Caleta Tortel. We'll stay there for 2 nights.
Day 13: Cruise in the Rio Baker delta.
Day 14: Return to Cochrane.
Day 15: Return to Balmaceda in two stages.
Day 16: Continue the return journey.
Day 17: Return the rental car and head back to Santiago.
After this, we're also planning to explore northern Santiago. I'll post about that part once I have a clearer idea of the route.
What do you think of this itinerary? Is it doable in 17 days?
Thanks in advance for your tips and recommendations.

Hi everyone! So happy to be back on this forum—it’s packed with such useful info! 🙂 My husband and I are planning a 2.5-week self-drive trip to Colombia at the end of the year, including some domestic flights. My first question is: is it possible, easy, and safe to do a road trip in Colombia?
Below is our draft itinerary (with questions at each stop):
29/11: France → Colombia. Overnight in Bogotá.
30/11: Exploring Bogotá: La Candelaria and Montserrate.
01/12: Gold Museum (closed on Mondays). Drive to Zipaquirá (1.5 hrs) to visit the Salt Cathedral. Then drive to Villa de Leyva (3 hrs). Explore the town. Overnight in Villa de Leyva.
02/12: Return to Bogotá via Laguna de Guatavita (5 hrs). Is it worth the detour? Overnight in Bogotá.
03/12: Flight to Pereira. Drive to Salento. Overnight in Salento.
04/12: Cocora Valley (hike among the wax palms) followed by a drive around the area. Are there any waterfalls or other sights nearby?
05/12: Visit a coffee finca—any recommendations? Then explore the surroundings: Filandia, Manizales, waterfalls? Hot springs? Which ones?
06/12: Flight to Medellín.
07/12: Exploring Medellín: Centro, Plaza Botero, Comuna 13. How do you visit Comuna 13? Is it easy to get around Medellín? Metro? Buses?
08/12: Drive to Guatapé (2 hrs). Visit the town, stroll around the lake, then El Peñol. Overnight in Guatapé.
09/12: Return to Medellín.
10/12: Flight to Santa Marta. Drive to a hotel near Tayrona Park.
11/12: Tayrona—El Zaino entrance.
12/12: Tayrona—Palangana entrance, then Bahia Concha and Santa Marta. What do you think?
13/12: Drive to Minca (45 mins). Can we reach the village by car? Pozo Azul and Marinka waterfalls. Overnight in Minca (or back in Tayrona?).
14/12: Drive to Puerto Nao (5 hrs). Stop in Ciénaga on the way + boat tour in Nueva Venecia and/or Buena Vista? Not enough time? Overnight in Puerto Nao.
15/12: Exploring Cartagena: Centro, Getsemaní, the walls + La Boquilla if we have time.
16/12: La Boquilla (is it really worth it?) if we didn’t have time yesterday, then back to the beach.
17/12: Return to France.
So, what do you think? Is this doable, or should we tweak it? Thanks in advance for your invaluable feedback and tips! 🙂
Hi there, I’ll be in Brazil from December 10th to the end of February.
I’ve sketched out a rough itinerary but I’m not sure how to arrange it—considering the climate, year-end holidays, and Carnival.
Basically, I’m thinking of the Amazon, the Northeast coast with Lençóis Maranhenses National Park (but skipping Chapada Diamantina),
Ouro Preto, Paraty, and Ilha Grande—but no Rio visit.
Is this doable in 3 months?
Which direction should I take for this itinerary?
Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone, does anyone know the agency Ventura Travel Agency (not ventura travel)? After lots of research and quotes, it’s the only one offering Uyuni at a reasonable price while meeting all the criteria: transfer to the border, private-room accommodation, and a very fair rate. Other agencies or guides either offer shared rooms, no border transfer, or prices that are way too high. But I’d love to hear some reviews about this agency. Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone,
We're planning a trip to Chile to visit the Atacama Desert and then head toward Putre, Lauca, Salar de Surire, etc.
Which would be the better time to go, April or November?
Is an SUV enough?
Looking forward to your tips!
Hi everyone, French travelers in Chile—what credit cards do you use for your various car rentals in the country? I’m traveling in September and was planning to switch my regular debit card (a VISA PREMIER in deferred debit mode) for the deposit guarantee.
My rentals are with Figal in Punta Arenas, Econautos in Arica, and Chilean Rent a Car in Temuco, and all of them want the deposit on a credit card. For me, deferred debit *should* work, but I’ve read comments saying the opposite.
How’s it actually working on the ground with these rental companies right now? Will a deferred debit card work, or not at all?
In France, banks don’t issue credit cards, right—or am I mistaken?
Hi everyone, is it still possible to travel in Ecuador outside the Amazon region? If so, do you have a reliable agency to recommend? All your recent experiences from the past few months would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much
Hi,
We’re heading to Buenos Aires for 3 days in November and would like to do a guided tour of a few neighborhoods. There are "free" tours, but none in French. Does anyone have a guide to recommend so we can really get to know the city beyond just the architecture?
Thanks
Hi there,
I’m desperately looking for info on the schedules and routes of (shared) boats to visit the islands of Lake Titicaca.
From what I’ve found, there’s a *combi* (bus) that leaves from Puno to go to Llachon. Where do you catch it? What are the schedules and frequency? Does it take about 1 hour?
Then in Llachon, you can take a boat to Amantani (45 min). Same question—where do you check for frequency and schedule?
After that, from Amantani, boats go to Taquile and then Uros. Do you have enough time to visit the islands between two boats? Frequency and schedule?
The goal is to do this tour independently (no agency) over 2 days. Thanks for any tips you might have!
I just got back from a trip to Bolivia and wow—what a wake-up call. It’s not the easiest country, but it’s absolutely stunning.
I started with Isla del Sol, perfect for easing into the altitude at a relaxed pace. Try to stay in the northern part of the island—it’s quieter and the views are insane. And the trout there? Unreal. Quick tip: bring cash in small bills; they almost never have change, and cards are rarely accepted.
Next up, La Paz. The city’s pretty wild, built in every direction. I did a few hikes in the area, including the famous Charquini Lagoon (the blue lake) at over 5,000 m—let’s just say I struggled 😅 but it was so beautiful it was totally worth it.
After that, I headed to Sajama. It’s cool, especially for the hot springs, and I stayed in Tomarapi. But honestly, if you’re short on time, you can skip it without too many regrets.
The highlight of the trip: the Salar. I did it starting from Tupiza, and I *highly* recommend going Tupiza → Uyuni. Way less crowded at the start and the landscapes are super varied. For the tour, I used SplitYourGuide to find a group, and it worked out great. Super handy for splitting costs and meeting people.
I wrapped up in Sucre—this city is gorgeous, all white, with such a chill vibe. And the salteñas + ice cream? Next level 😋
Bottom line: Bolivia’s a bit rough around the edges, sometimes exhausting (shoutout to the altitude), but it’s 1000% worth it.
If you’ve got questions or need tips, I’m happy to help!

I was planning to go to Réunion and stay in half-board accommodation with non-professionals, but it seems that’s not really the custom there—or maybe my budget isn’t big enough.
So, since I’ve already traveled around Ecuador and Peru, I’m now looking at Argentina, especially for its mountains (like the ones in Réunion that tempted me, even though—frustratingly—I could only admire them from below).
I plan to get around by bus and don’t know in advance where I’ll sleep, so I won’t book ahead. If I like a place, I might stay for several days.
I know that in Chile, it’s easy to find half-board accommodation, but what about in Argentina?
I’d like to stay with locals in half-board without it being a professional setup. I’m not sure if this is common practice there. It’s up to me to find someone willing to host me.
What do you think?
What would be a fair price (keeping in mind that 40 to 50 € is the max I can spend on accommodation, breakfast, and dinner)?
Hi everyone,
We’re heading to Patagonia for three weeks in November, starting from Coyhaique in Chile.
We won’t have a car, and I’m struggling to find information about transportation options for a few parts of the itinerary we’d like to do:
1) From Perito Moreno (the town, near Los Antiguos), we’d like to travel down Ruta 40 to visit Perito Moreno National Park and then cross into Chile via the Paso Roballos (at the latitude of Bajo Caracoles) to reach the road to Cochrane. Without a car, it seems we’ll need to use private agencies to get to the national park—do you have any recommendations or suggestions? Also, does anyone know if it’s possible to cross into Chile via Paso Roballos (from Bajo Caracoles) without a rental car? That is, without having to go all the way down to El Chaltén or back up toward Perito Moreno/Los Antiguos, etc.?
2) The second stretch that seems a bit tricky (though still easier, in theory) is from Caleta Tortel to Villa O’Higgins on the Chilean side. Do we have to go back through Cochrane, or are there ways to get directly from Tortel to Villa O’Higgins?
3) Finally, we’d like to hike into Argentina (El Chaltén) from O’Higgins. Any recommendations for this? Do we need to go through an agency? What’s the estimated duration of the trek?
As you’ve probably gathered, we want to visit some off-the-beaten-path spots but don’t have a car, so we’re looking for the best possible compromises.
Thanks so much in advance for all your suggestions!

Hi,
we’re planning a round trip from San Pedro de Atacama, Chile, to Salta, Argentina, in two months. On the way there, we’ll take the northern route via Susques, Route 27, then 52. But for the return, we were thinking of taking the southern route via San Antonio de los Cobres, Route 51, then 23. Is it similar to the northern route in terms of road surface? How busy is it, and are there gas stations? Basically, should we be worried about doing it in an SUV that’s supposedly 4x4 but has regular road tires and no second spare wheel, obviously...
I’ve seen that we can stop over in San Antonio de los Cobres.
Thanks for your feedback.

Hi,
we’ll be in Calama at the end of March 2026, and I’m looking for a reliable car rental there for a 7-day road trip to Salta, Argentina. But I’m struggling with the car rental agencies in Calama because the reviews can be scary. I saw Gyg, which has great ratings, but I’m a bit wary (5/5 from 59 reviews—either the guy’s amazing or it’s fake...), but I can’t find any recent reviews on VF in general.
For Punta Arenas, I booked with Dachelet and didn’t have any issues with email exchanges.
Thanks in advance.
Raf.
I’m planning the trip of my dreams for next November—Chile!

7-(Very early) Valle del Arcoíris + Laguna Cejar + Valle de la Luna
Good evening,
We’d love to go in November to enjoy some beautiful beaches for about two weeks, preferably around Bahia, as November/December seems like a great time.
We’ve already traveled to Brazil several times and know the south of Rio as well as the region between São Luís and Fortaleza, and Chapada Diamantina...
What advice would you give us: the south with Itaparica, Morro de São Paulo, Boipeba, Barra Grande—or all four? Or maybe the north?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,
During an upcoming trip to Peru, we’ll have one day to explore around Arequipa (excluding Colca Canyon) with a car and driver.
We’ve got a few options:
- Toro Muerto petroglyphs and dinosaur footprints at Querulpa
- Ruta del Sillar and Quebrada de Culebrillas
We’re a group of 6 friends with an average age of 70, all mobile, and we’re planning a trip to Peru in September/October 2026. Below is an idea of what we’re looking for: a French-speaking guide, accommodation in 3-star hotels or homestays with comfort.
Duration: 16 to 20 days on-site.
Visit the main sites with immersion in the culture and way of life.
Which francophone agency in Peru would you recommend? Thanks
Hi there!
I’m putting together my itinerary for Brazil, looking for beautiful natural spots with wildlife, flora, and great hikes...
I’ve come across the Cananeia / Super Agui / Ilha do Mel region and the PETAR / Intervales / Alto Ribeira area.
Has anyone here been to these places? If so, do you have any recommendations for accommodations and activities?
Thanks in advance!
Best,
Olivier 🌍
I’ll be in ARICA in northern Chile at the end of May 2026 and want to get to TACNA.
Are there taxis, buses, or collectivos that run the border crossing route?
After that, bus to AREQUIPA (Peru): any bus company you’d recommend?
Hi there,
We’re spending 3 weeks in Brazil, arriving in São Paulo—a couple plus a teen—and we’ll have a rental car.
We especially love nature: hiking, wildlife watching, birds, etc.
We’re planning to wrap up with a week around Paraty and Ilha Grande.
We’re not really into visiting big cities like São Paulo or Rio unless you think we’d be missing out big time.
So we’ve got 2 weeks to explore the south/southwest region of São Paulo.
What do you recommend?
National parks? Off-the-beaten-path nature spots? Iguazu Falls?
Hi there,
Do you have any recommendations for comfortable accommodation in Leyva and Barichara? We're also looking for a guide to explore the areas around these two towns (parks, waterfalls, etc.).
Thanks for your tips!
I visited Colombia in January 2016 and I’m heading back from August 6th to 17th with the same airline to see how things have changed. Starting August 18th, I’ll continue with independent exploration. I prefer slow travel and enjoying places at my own pace.
Any tips—especially for getting around or must-see spots—are welcome!

Hi there,
Three years ago during a trip to Java (no, I didn’t post in the wrong forum!), I came across the address of former miners who had switched to “tourism” and organized nighttime ascents of the Kawah Ijen volcano and descents into the crater.
So I was thinking—maybe there are miners on the salt flats too, either former or still active, who do the same thing. If you’ve had an experience like this, I’d love any tips you can share.
Thanks in advance.
Hi there, since there isn’t much recent info on how to get to MP, I’d love to know if there have been any improvements to the "route" to Hydroelectrica. Is it feasible to drive there in February? And is it still possible to walk all the way to Aguas Calientes? I think I read somewhere that it’s no longer allowed??
Do you think I can buy Machu Picchu entrance tickets last-minute at that time of year, given the weather?
A group of friends and I are heading to Brazil in March 2019 and we’d love to attend the Carnival parade. I could really use your help because I’m struggling to find reviews for online ticket sellers for Carnival.
I came across rio-carnival—is this a reliable agency?
Do you have other agencies to recommend or experiences to share?
Any advice is welcome.
