This is a fascinating
experience, which will take us to one of the most iconic and surreal places
from the Atacama Desert, about 13
kilometers west of San Pedro de Atacama,
we will find this landscape that seems from another planet, The Valley of the Moon.
We will leave your hotel
at approximately 2:30 p.m. from the hotel (the schedule may change
depending on the time of year and weather conditions). we will dive into
this lunar landscape that gives its name to the
place. The Valley of the Moon is characterized
for its unique rock formations , sand and salt dunes, and an almost total absence
of vegetation.
We will take a walk
along the Cordillera de la Sal where
We will observe this spectacular geological phenomenon, made up of large
deposits of salt, gypsum and loamy soils,
This mountain range offers a landscape rich in natural sculptures, mountains and
salt ridges eroded by wind and water over millions of years.
Among this singular morphology, the best known are Las Tres Marías and El Amphitheatre.
The valley is part
of the Los Flamencos National Reserve and is
administered by the indigenous communities of Coyo, San Pedro, Quitor,
Entourage, Larache and Yaye.
One of the moments
most spectacular in the Valle de la Luna
it is the "sunset", the
rock formations and the desert take golden tones
and reddish at this time, creating a perfect landscape for photography and
contemplation.
Here at the most
high in the Cordillera de la Sal,
We will arrive at the Mirador de Kari or Piedra del
Coyote, together with this background postcard we will enjoy an exquisite cocktail, hoping to see one
one of the most beautiful and romantic sunsets in the world.
After this moment
magical, we will return to San Pedro and drop you off near the parking lot
municipal, from there you can tour the town a bit or return to your hotel by
your account, if you prefer to take the private service we can leave you at the hotel
where we picked you up.
As always,
be sure to bring appropriate clothing for the weather conditions and a camera
to capture unforgettable moments. Don`t miss it.
