- Tour of the Valle de La Luna
During the tour, we explore some of the most iconic places in the Atacama Desert, each with unique and impressive landscapes.
We began our journey at the imposing Duna Mayor, where we had the opportunity to walk on the fine sand and enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view. Next, we continued to the Amphitheater, an impressive rock formation sculpted by the wind over millennia, resembling a vast natural stage surrounded by reddish walls.
Our next stop was the enigmatic Três Marias, naturally formed salt and stone sculptures that captivate the imagination with their peculiar shapes. We continued our tour to the Ckari Viewpoint, one of the highest points in the region, from where you can admire the grandeur of the Salt Mountains, with their mountains sculpted by time and erosion.
We ended the experience in style, enjoying an unforgettable sunset in the desert, when the sky turns orange and pink, creating a visual spectacle that will remain in our memories for a long time.

You need to take a 40 minute walk to Duna Mayor, so it's a complicated walk for
elderly or people with reduced mobility.
To work in Astronomy, one needs to be aware that one's schedule is busy.
In summer the tour ends at 8:30 pm (after sunset) and the astro starts at 9 pm, that is
tight.
Ideally, avoid combining Valle de la Luna or Vallecito with Astronómico.
