- Tour to Vallecito
The tour was a true immersion in the surreal landscapes of the Atacama Desert, combining adventure, contemplation and a lot of natural beauty.
The first stop was the iconic Magic Bus, an old, abandoned bus in the middle of the desert, which has become a curious and characterful photo spot. The nostalgic atmosphere of the place, combined with the vastness of the surrounding area, creates a unique, almost cinematic setting.
From there, we continued toward the impressive Salt Mountain Range, a time-sculpted mountain range composed of salt flats and rock formations that shimmer in the sun and change color throughout the day. The contrast between the rugged terrain and the clear Atacama sky is simply breathtaking.
Continuing our journey, we cross the silent and enigmatic Llano de la Paciencia, a vast plain that exudes a sense of profound peace. The silence there is almost absolute, providing a rare connection with the vastness and stillness of the desert.
We then headed to several strategic viewpoints, from where we could admire the landscapes from different angles and depths—true invitations to contemplation and photography.
To end this memorable day, we watched a spectacular sunset, where the Atacama sky transformed into a spectacle of intense colors.
The golden light spreads across the mountains and rock formations, creating a magical scene that seems straight out of a dream.
