Itinerary
Day 1 - Starting: San Pedro de Atacama & Finishing: San Pedro de Atacama
Arrive in the north Chile town of San Pedro and transfer to your hotel. Take time to walk the Wild West-esque streets, along red dust roads, past Spanish colonial whitewashed houses and cowboys with their charges, before a welcome meeting in the evening.
Day 2 - Starting: San Pedro de Atacama & Finishing: San Pedro de Atacama
Travel out on a private tour of the Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley) and it’ll quickly become clear where the name comes from. This is a landscape from another world, as if you’ve travelled through space rather than by dusty road and landed on the Moon or Mars. Look out across the alien landscape of sweeping sand dunes and large red rock walls millions of years old. Visit the Grand Crater and the Salt Canyon, the Salt Caves and the famous Three Marias rock formation. Watch as the setting sun bathes the distant volcanoes in pink and red, and the light sets off the purple and gold of the valley landscape. In the evening join an astronomic tour and gaze up at the billions of stars above in the totally clear skies. Peer through a telescope and see the planets and Saturn with its rings with your very own eyes.
Day 3 - Starting: San Pedro de Atacama & Finishing: San Pedro de Atacama
This exploration of Chile’s unique desert landscape comes to an end after breakfast. Transfer to the airport for your onward flight.
