Valley of the Moon and Valley of Mars [a-m- PRIVATE]

Valley of the Moon and Valley of Mars [a-m- PRIVATE]

In the morning, half-day excursion:

Modality: Panorama // hiking.

Total duration: from 3 to 4 hours.

Distance: about 20 km.

Meals included: none.

The visit to the Valley of the Moon and the Valley of Mars is a "must do" in the region. It is located at 2,500 meters above sea level and only ten minutes by car from San Pedro de Atacama. Here we will visit part of the Cordillera de la Sal, which is actually the set of folds and hills where these two valleys meet.

A topography carved by rain and wind for millions of years allows us to see different layers of highly soluble sediments such as clay, sand, conglomerates and different types of salt; creating a unique and fascinating landscape. The reddish and muddy tones interspersed with white layers illuminated by the intense sun of the Atacama Desert, create a unique landscape that seems from another planet, and that in turn is framed by the imposing Andes Mountain Range, the backbone of America.
