We will head west from San Pedro de Atacama, first visiting Yerbas Buenas, an area of great historical importance, as it has one of the largest groups of petroglyphs in the region. Through this place, the indigenous caravans that traveled from the Argentine northeast and the Bolivian Altiplano crossed, and arrived as far as the Pacific Ocean. We will find very different carvings and drawings on the rock, such as llamas, camelids, birds, monkeys and dogs. Next, when crossing Matancilla, we will see the Rainbow Valley, called that way because of the different colors that the mountains have because of of minerals. The earthy, reddish, beige, green, white and yellow colors reveal the different concentrations of salts, clays and minerals. Let's go for a walk, going through its rock formations and the unique landscape of the place.

1Valle De La Luna
The tour will start from the city center of San Pedro de Atacama, passing through the Cordillera del Sal in the Atacama Desert, the driest place in the world, towards one of the most picturesque spots: the Valley of the Moon. The names already give a clear sign of the landscape, where rock formations dominated by erosion, areas covered in salt, the Duna Mayor and views that make you feel as if you were on another planet. We will cross the valley, visiting the well-known rock formations: the Três Marias, the Cano and the Amphitheater. To finish the tour, we will enjoy the sunset from the Licarantay viewpoint, where you will be able to observe how the desert changes color, with huge volcanoes on the horizon, which offer a spectacle that will leave you speechless.
