Where does the tour Puritama Hot Springs San Pedro de Atacama start

The tour starts in San Pedro de Atacama and most travelers arrive from 3 zones:

From Santiago de Chile: the most advisable option is to do it by direct plane to Calama. Upon arrival you can take a transfer to San Pedro de Atacama. We recommend the company Transfer Pampa for being the most reliable. 

From Peru: most probably you will arrive directly from Cuzco or Arequipa. In this case we recommend you to take a bus that crosses the Arica-Tacna border and then takes you to San Pedro de Atacama, although it is a somewhat complex combination, since it is necessary to combine several buses.

From Salta (Argentina): there is a direct bus that takes approximately 11 hours.
