Half Day Excursion to Moon Valley – Atacama

A guided tour to watch the sunset over the alien landscapes of Moon Valley

Travel to the Cordillera de la Sal (salt mountain range), a group of attractive natural stone and sand sculptures that formed millions of years ago as part of a large lake. Once here, head to a lookout to enjoy views of the valley. The next stop is the awesome Valle de Marte (valley of Mars), also known as the Valle de la Muerte (Death Valley), with its peculiar stone formations and absolute desert landscape. No vegetation or insects are to be found in what is considered one of the world’s most barren regions. Next, the tour ventures on to Las Tres Marias (the three Marias), an interesting geological formation near an old salt mine. At sunset, the exploration ends atop a giant sand dune in Valle de la Luna (moon valley), named this way because of its moon-like landscape where an amazing spectacle of different colours can be admired when the sun slips below the horizon.
