Quebrada Nacimiento is 7 km from the town of Socaire and about 100 km from San Pedro de Atacama, in northern Chile. It is an ideal place to appreciate the flora and fauna of the Andean ravines. I am happy to offer this half day tour in an area that I know as the palm of my hand!
When we go deep inside the Quebrada Nacimiento we will appreciate immense rock walls, a paradise for alpine climbing lovers. We’ll also visit Monjes de la Pakana, one of the not-so-famous but amazing attractions of San Pedro de Atacama. They’re imposing stone pillars with shapes that resemble the silhouettes of monks.
In addition, we will do a tour around the Salar (saltworks) and Laguna de Tara. The trek will take us between 3 and 5 hours.
As for the recommendations, it will be necessary to have at least a 3-day acclimatization at high altitude. You should also bring 2 liters of water per person, comfortable clothes and trekking shoes. Backpack, sunglasses and hut are key elements as well. The tour includes breakfast and a box lunch.
Finally, it’s very important to mention that we cannot stop walking until we reach the final point of the trail. It is therefore mandatory to be physically trained.
Are you coming to Atacama? If so, you cannot miss the fantastic trek in Quebrada Nacimiento. Send your request and I’ll help you plan your next hiking adventure in Chile!

About lead guide, Christian Fernandez:
I’m originally from Argentina, but live in Chile since 1998. Now I’m settled in the north of Chile, in San Pedro de Atacama, beautiful town in the heart of the Andean section of the dry Atacama dessert.
From there I organize many expeditions to beautiful peaks on a weekly basis. I’ve done more than 300 high altitude ascents, and more than 25 peaks over 6000 metres.
I speak English, Spanish and Portuguese.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
