The tour begins in the center of San Pedro de Atacama, from where we will go towards the Salt Mountain Range in the Atacama Desert, the most arid place in the whole world, to see one of the most picturesque points: the Moon Valley. The names already give you a clue of how is the landscape, ruled by the rock formations shaped by erosion, the salt cloaks over the ground and viewings that make you fell like if you were in another planet.
We will go across the valley, visiting its famous rock formations: the Tres Marías, the Cañón, the Amphitheater, and the Coyote Stone. Finally, we will enjoy the sunset from a natural mirador, where you can see how the desert changes its colors, with great volcanoes in the horizon, offering a speechless spectacle.
