I have used DeNomades to plan and organize a wonderful trip during our stay in San Pedro de Atacama. I wanted to make sure we control the buget, all is scheduled and of good quality. We only had 2 days but with DeNomades we were able to fit the itinerary of 4 days...

Great professional tours. The website is pretty good and booking is easy. The tours were cheaper than what I found else where. Will use again in my future South American travels.

I just wanted to say a massive "thank you" to the Denomades team! I have booked a whopping 8 tours with them across 3 countries (Peru, Bolivia and Chile) and can only give them 5 stars across the board. They have been super-responsive, helpful and friendly...

Our group of friends booked two tours in La Paz. Booking was very fast and easy, and the guides were awesome! Up to now they were the best guides we met in all South America. I recommend Denomades for all!

Comentario de Annabelle Nelson

We took the 4-day private tour to the Uyuni flat in Bolivia. Absolutely lovely experience. We had no previous recommendation about this agency/tour so it was a risky adventure. Replies to emails were immediate, help with payment was quick...
