Trekking, Mountain Biking & Adventure

The name Sairecabur comes from the composition of two words in Kunza language (the ancient language of the Atacameño Indians), Saire meaning breast, and Cabur meaning mountain. Explore the Atacama Desert in depth, in a 6-day exploration that combines both trekking, hiking, and sightseeing, covering many of the breathtaking sites and most beautiful destinations off San Pedro de Atacama, with a great ending: climbing to the summit of the Sairecabur Volcano (5.971 m). A trip for those who want a more intense physical challenge, who love trekking, nature & culture, starting at lower altitude, and slowly ascending into the height, acclimatising gradually. This trip takes you through the intense beauty of the hidden gems of the Atacama Desert and Andean highlands.

Supported by the best logistics and coordination, a great acclimatisation, physical, and mental preparation, where you and your partners will be able to prepare and, at the same time, enjoy the pristine nature during this breathtaking adventure.

Experience the Atacama Basin and desert, the High Plateau lagoons & Piedras Rojas, fascinating nature, visiting unforgettable spots, such as the fascinating Moon & Death Valley, the Tatio Geysers, the Atacama Salt Flat, the Toco Volcano (5.592 m), trekking through diverse vegetation levels, and much more!
