🗺️ Detailed Itinerary
Afternoon departure
Pickup in San Pedro de Atacama and a short drive into the valley. The shift in landscape is almost immediate.
Cordillera de la Sal
A walk among salt formations that crack and shift audibly as the temperature drops. The textures, colours and sounds here are completely unique.
Tres Marías and the valley floor
Wind-carved rock and salt flats stretching in every direction. Time to walk, stop, and take in a landscape shaped over millions of years.
Sunset
A viewpoint above the valley. The light goes copper, then red, then fades out. This is the moment you came for.
Return
Back to San Pedro after dark, under a sky full of stars.
