Description

Start your experience in the morning with a pickup from your accommodation in San Pedro de Atacama to head towards the Rainbow Valley. Upon arrival, you'll find a stunning landscape of mountains and rock formations that stand out for their intense reddish, ocher, green, and white tones, a result of the mineral richness of the land. We'll take a leisurely hike to explore this environment, learn about its geological features, and enjoy its incredible panoramic views. In the morning, you can also enjoy a delicious breakfast prepared to start the day with energy. After the visit to Valle del Arcoíris, we will return to San Pedro de Atacama and take a break before continuing in the afternoon towards Valle de la Luna. Here you'll discover one of the most iconic landscapes of the Atacama Desert, with large dunes, rock and salt formations, and natural vantage points that offer spectacular views. You'll have time to walk, take in the scenery, and take photos as the afternoon light transforms the colors and shapes of the desert. To end the experience, we'll enjoy a delicious local brunch accompanied by a traditional Pisco Sour in a special setting surrounded by the Atacama landscape. We will then begin the drop-off to San Pedro de Atacama, after having experienced a full day that combines nature, geology, and unique landscapes.
