Tour Highlights

We will convene at a designated meeting point in San Pedro de Atacama before heading westward.

After a brief half-hour journey, we will arrive at one of the Atacama Desert's most stunning locations – the renowned Moon Valley. Here, you will have the chance to both walk and drive, soaking in the extraordinary beauty that surrounds you.

During our time at Moon Valley, we will visit the Mirador de Kari, or Coyote's Stone, where you can enjoy panoramic vistas that feel as if you have stepped into the cosmos, given the moon-like characteristics of its landscapes.

As we traverse the area, we will also view the fascinating geological structure known as Las Tres Marías. A stop at the iconic Duna Mayor – a towering sand dune that looms over the stark terrain of Moon Valley – offers an excellent opportunity to capture breathtaking photos of the Atacama Desert.

After concluding our exploration of this surreal valley, we will make our way back to our original meeting point in San Pedro de Atacama, wrapping up this 4 to 4.5-hour adventure.
