San Pedro de Atacama Tours

Located about 2 hours from San Pedro de Atacama you will find the Moon Valley. It presents to the visitor an extraordinary moon-like landscape and a beautiful natural Colosseum of impressive dimensions. To discover this place together with the Death Valley and the Salt Cordillera we offer various circuits focused on the needs of each and every tourist, including trekking or sandboarding on the dunes. 

The unusual rock formations and the enormous dunes create incomparable scenery looking like the moon, therefore the name. Also you can visit the Death Valley, located as well  in the Salt Cordillera, with its mountains and natural sculptures out of sand. During the day, the colors of this valley vary and the Salt Cordillera converts into the ideal place for amazing photographs. During the night, it is without doubt the best place to watch the stars.

Among the most visited places are the viewing point of the Salt Cordillera, the canyon of Ckari and the salt sculptures known as the Tres Marias, where many visitors wait for one of the most beautiful sunsets of Northern Chile. This is the best moment to capture the beautiful shadows and changing colors of the Atacama Desert in some pictures.
