It's not a desert like any other with simple sand, but it's something else. I was very happy to have done this tour, where I could get to know a magnificent place, especially that I had the car to move with my times and not depend on anyone.

That it is Sel drive is like the strawberry of the dessert, since it allows the time that it does not want itself, and it does not depend on anybody, it gives you complete independence. The car was very comfortable, did not consume much fuel. The hotel food, was mafnifica. They will be able to know magnificent places, do not hesitate to do.

Excellent! I had never visited this region of Chile before and neither had I done it through a package. But the truth is that it was a unique and fun experience. We had a great time, and the highlight is that by having a self-drive car, everyone can tour and do things at their own time. The hotel is very nice and comfortable. Next trip I will definitely hire Signature Tours to put it together for me. Thank you very much.
