We will visit one of the most important sites, and easily reachable, to find rupestrian art demonstration known as Petroglyphs. We will also appreciate the beautiful natural scenery of the Rainbow Valley, San Pedro de Atacama. It is considered a unique place due to its colors, produced by the minerals contained in the mountains.
The Valley of the Moon (Valle de la Luna, San Pedro de Atacama) is a tourist attraction located 13 km west of San Pedro de Atacama and 110 km southeast of Calama, in the Region of Antofagasta. In 1982 it was declared a nature sanctuary and belongs to the national reserve “Los Flamencos”. In the middle of the Salt Mountain Range, the Central Crater, the Tres Marias and the Amphitheatre give the illusion of being on another planet. This place is one of the wonders of the Chilean desert you absolutely should not miss.
This tour is the most interesting of the Chilean Andes allowing the visitor to appreciate clear signs of the advance and melting of glaciers. Throughout inhospitable places of gorgeous colors and shapes surrounded by stunning lagoons of different colors, it is characterized by visiting remote places of difficult access, where you can enjoy the silence and immensity of the high Andes.
This tour complements the “Lagunas Altiplanicas” tour with the visit to this marvelous natural place characterized for its red volcanic rock formations and surrounded by mineralized lagoons.
This spectacular expedition includes the visit to three wonderful lagoons (national reserve) and the two small indigenous towns, where you will have the possibility to purchase local crafts. Wonderful species of birds inhabit the place as well as other wild animals.
An experience that will refresh you from the intense heat of the Atacama desert is Cejar Lagoon. This lagoon guarantees absolute flotation because of its extremely high concentration of salt. Completing the tour, we will visit Ojos del Salar (fresh groundwater) and finally we will enjoy watching the beautiful landscape while waiting the sunset on Tebenquinche Lagoon.
This tour is without doubt the attraction that you should not miss. This geothermal field has eighty geysers approximately, which positioned it in the third place of the world right after Yellowstone (USA) and Dolina Giezerov (Russia) geysers. On this tour you will have the opportunity to visit about six or seven spots, interacting directly with the environment, which makes us different from the rest of the agencies.
If you want to chill after exploring San Pedro, the best alternative are the Puritama hot springs. These waters reach 33°C running through seven pools with safe and appropriate infrastructure for bathing. These waters rich in minerals, are considered therapeutic and so they are recommended for people suffering from stress, arthritis, muscle fatigue, rheumatism, among others.
For those who like visiting archaeological sites, we offer this magnificent option that will make you travel back in time to feel the Atacama or Licanantai culture (of this land). You will feel the suffering that the ancient inhabitants of Atacama lived in one of the first clashes between Spaniards and indigenous peoples. We will also visit the oldest settlement of the region (100 – 300 years a.D.) where evidences of trade and exchange of products made in that village have been found by archeologists.
