Details

Welcome to the Valle de la Luna, one of Atacama Desert’s most iconic natural wonders. Here, time seems to stand still: wind and water have sculpted dramatic dunes, salt formations, and rocky amphitheaters that look like they belong to another planet.

Our journey begins with a walk among the desert’s most fascinating formations. You’ll see the Great Dune, a vast wall of sand that towers above the valley floor, and the Three Marys, a curious trio of rock figures shaped by centuries of erosion. At the natural amphitheater, silence reigns supreme — it’s easy to understand why this place is named after the moon, where landscapes are equally silent and surreal.

The adventure continues toward the famous Piedra del Coyote (Kari Viewpoint), a dramatic cliff edge that feels like the balcony of the Atacama. From here, the panoramic views are simply breathtaking: endless valleys stretching into the horizon, salt flats shimmering in the sun, and the Andes Mountains rising majestically in the distance.

And then comes the grand finale: sunset over the desert. As the sky transforms into a painter’s palette of fiery reds, deep oranges, and soft pinks, the Andes peaks glow in the fading light. With a carefully prepared cocktail in hand, you’ll savor not only the view but also the essence of Atacama — a mix of vastness, silence, and awe.

When night falls, the experience doesn’t end. Atacama is world-renowned for having some of the clearest skies on Earth, making stargazing here an unmissable extra treat.

Fun Facts

  • The Atacama Desert is the driest place on Earth, with some areas that haven’t seen rain for centuries.
  • Astronomers consider its skies among the clearest worldwide — it’s home to cutting-edge observatories like ALMA.
  • The Valley of the Moon is so similar to Mars that it has been a training ground for astronauts.

This isn’t just a tour. It’s an invitation to wander through landscapes that seem frozen in time, to embrace the silence of the desert, and to watch the sun set in a spectacle of colors unlike anywhere else on Earth. Are you ready to experience the magic of the Atacama?
