Itinerary

Day 1 · Valley of the moon

Valle De La Luna

4 hours

Valley of the moon. The names already give a clear clue to the landscape, where rock formations modeled by erosion, salt mantles, the Duna Mayor and views that will make you feel like on another planet reign.

We will cross the valley transversally, visiting its famous rock formations: the Tres Marías, the Canyon and the Amphitheater. To finish the tour, we will enjoy the sunset from the Licarantay viewpoint, where you can see how the desert is changing color, with large volcanoes on the horizon, offering a spectacle that will leave you speechless.

Day 2 · Cejar Lagoon, Ojos del Salar and Tebenquinche

Laguna Cejar

4 hours Admission not included

On this tour we will visit a series of lagoons inside the Salar de Atacama, the largest salt flat in Chile. We will first visit the famous Laguna Cejar and Laguna Piedra, surrounded by green and yellow grass that highlights the color of the water, contemplating a unique landscape of turquoise waters and volcanoes. In the latter we can enjoy a bath with which we will experience the floating effect, similar to that of the Dead Sea.

Afterwards, we will go to Ojos del Salar, two deep wells of fresh water in the middle of the desert. Then we will visit the Tebinquinche Lagoon, where we will walk along its path to appreciate the magnificent views, where the sky merges with the desert and the whiteness of the salt.

Day 3 · Geyser del Tatio Tour

Geyser del Tatio

8 hours Admission not included

Unmissable tour to the Tatio Geysers, a unique show in the world. Includes breakfast and visit to the town of Machuca.

On the tour to the Tatio Geysers we will leave at dawn from San Pedro de Atacama towards the Altiplano, climbing the hills and mountains of the Andes Mountains. After 1 hour and a half of travel, we will arrive at the Geysers, a unique natural spectacle in the world, with 80 smoking geysers at 4200 m altitude. Next to this natural setting, we will enjoy a breakfast replenishment, and then tour the geothermal field, surrounded by numerous steam columns. Also, it is possible to visit the rustic well that is within the same field.

On the way back to San Pedro de Atacama, we will make a stop at the Putana River, where we will observe the native flora and fauna of the place, and then make another stop in the town of Machuca, where it is possible to buy flame anticuchos, empanadas and other typical foods from the area
