Private expeditions in the Atacama Desert and the Andean Altiplano, guided by a professional photographer, certified local guide and PhotoPills Master.

Welcome to Pato Oses Photography & Volcán Paniri Tours.

My name is Patricio Oses. I am a professional photographer, certified tour guide and explorer of the Atacama Desert. I was born and raised in northern Chile and for more than a decade I have lived and worked in San Pedro de Atacama, one of the most extraordinary and remote landscapes on the planet.

My connection to this territory goes far beyond work. Over the years I have explored the Altiplano, its volcanoes, salt flats and lagoons, developing a deep understanding of the desert, its geology, wildlife, culture and the unique conditions of this high-altitude ecosystem.

Over time I decided to combine two of my greatest passions: desert exploration and landscape photography. Today I bring both together to offer private experiences designed for travelers who want to discover the Atacama Desert in an authentic, immersive and exclusive way.

I am a certified guide and professional photographer specialized in the landscapes of the Andean Altiplano. I am also part of the international team of PhotoPills Masters, participating in photography expeditions that explore some of the most spectacular landscapes of northern Chile and Bolivia, including the Atacama Desert, Lauca National Park and the Uyuni Salt Flat.

Through my private expeditions, my goal is to show the desert from a different perspective. Each expedition is designed to explore remote locations, less visited landscapes and the most beautiful moments of light, creating a much deeper experience than traditional tours.

All experiences are fully private and customized. Each itinerary is designed according to the interests of every traveler, whether it is Altiplano exploration, landscape photography, nature, culture or high-altitude expeditions.

As a professional photographer, I also capture images of the landscapes visited during our journeys and can assist travelers who wish to improve their photography skills in one of the darkest and most spectacular skies in the world.

If you are looking to discover the Atacama Desert, the Andean Altiplano and the Uyuni Salt Flat in an authentic and exclusive way, guided by a local expert, it will be a pleasure to accompany you on this experience.
