Highlights

  • Valle del Arcoiris (Matancilla)
  • Marvel at this magical place formed by tectonic movements
  • Visit the Hierbas Buenas petroglyphs of great historical importance

Description

We leave San Pedro de Atacama towards the west, first visiting Yerbas Buenas, an area of great historical importance, as it has one of the most important groups of petroglyphs in the region. Caravans of indigenous people from northeast Argentina and the Bolivian Altiplano crossed this place and reached the Pacific Ocean. We will find very varied engravings and cave drawings such as llamas, camelids, birds, monkeys and dogs. Then, you will visit the place known as Rainbow Valley. We will stop to stretch our legs, and we will visit this place on a walk of 1 hour round trip and 1 hour return, whose name is due to the varied colors of the rocks, a product of the different minerals they contain. After a brief tour with explanations from our guide and time to take photographs, we will move to the Río Salado sector, where a small valley is formed where we can take a walk to appreciate the landscape. After this, we will return to San Pedro de Atacama where the activity ends.
