We will leave San Pedro de Atacama to the west, and our first stop will be Yerbas Buenas, an area of great historical importance due to one of the most important petroglyphs' group of the region. Through this place, indigenous caravans crossed from the Argentine north-east and the Bolivian Altiplano, and arrived to the Pacific Ocean. We will see varied carvings and drawings in the rock like camelids, birds, monkeys and dogs.
Then, you will visit the place known as Rainbow Valley. We will make a stop to stretch the legs and visit this place walking 1hour to go there, and then 1 hour back, which name is because of the varied colors of the rocks, product of the different minerals that they have.
After the tour with explanations of our guide and time to take pictures, we will go to the Salado River area, where there is a small valley in which we will be able to walk to see the landscape. After that, we will return to San Pedro de Atacama to end the activity.
