Itinerary
4-hour soft trekking to the Salt Mountain Range, visiting geological formations, caves and valleys.
This tour will lead us to the Moon Valley, Sanctuary of Nature and National Monument, protected by its unique landscape. It is formed by a valley surrounded by small hills with stunning sharp-shaped tops. This tour is a science fiction journey through landscapes not belonging to our world, but other planets. At this valley we will see salt esculptures known as Tres Marías, formed by the air erosion. We will visit the old salt deposits where we will be able to appreciate “sal gema” mineral which resemble the quartz and it is only petrified salt inside the salt deposits at ground level in some places.
This is the perfect place to enjoy the sunset surrounded by astonishing colors.
Return to San Pedro de Atacama at 7:00 PM approximately
