Description

Discover one of the most impressive landscapes in the Atacama Desert in an experience created for those seeking unique scenery, photography, and connection with nature. The adventure begins with the transfer from San Pedro de Atacama to the Cordillera de Sal, a region shaped by millions of years of geological processes. Along the way, you will see mineral formations, old mining areas, and landscapes that resemble the surface of another planet. We will visit the famous Magic Bus, one of the most photographed spots in the region, as well as former mineral extraction areas and an old salt mine. Then, we will go on an easy hike through the dunes of Vallecito, where the silence and immensity of the desert create a unique atmosphere.
