You’ll meet our guide at the lobby of you hotel in San Pedro de Atacama. We’ll head toward the Salt Mountain Range, which forms a natural barrier between the Pacific Ocean and the Atacama Salt Flat. The hike starts at the Coyote rock, a strange rock formation and getting deep into the mountain range and it geologic forms. We’ll hike 2 hours by the Cari George, admiring beautiful views of Atacama. We will walk crossing the Salt Mountain Range starting from a belvedere to get into a passage called the Moon Valley (Valle de La Luna). Unique landscapes and white paths are formed by the evaporating materials such as salt and gypsum. It´s one of the tours that will make you feels like you are on another planet. Once we reach the end of Kari George we head to Moon Valley, a valley of statuesque, rocky formations. Salt emerges to the surface, covering the surface with a dry, whitish layer that gives the place a lunar aspect. We’ll visit the statues of salt called “Las Tres Marias“ , the salt mine, the salt caves and we will walk up by the sand dunes of the area until we reach the summit of the Big Dune. Here, you will see the whole valley at the sunset, while a spectacular change of colors happens in front of your eyes and enjoy a delicious cocktail. Afterwards we return to San Pedro de Atacama by van and drop you off at your Hotel or in town.
