Valle de la Luna – Moon Valley
Just 13 kilometers from San Pedro de Atacama, the Valley of the Moon stuns with its surreal landscape of salt, sand, and stone formations sculpted by wind and time. It’s one of the most iconic must-see spots in the desert.
The visit begins at Las Tres Marías, natural quartz and granite sculptures that welcome you to the valley. From there, you can explore salt caves, climb the Great Dune, and take in breathtaking views from viewpoints that offer one of the most stunning sunsets in Chile—when the Salt Mountain Range turns shades of pink, orange, and lilac.
Best visited in the afternoon. Wear comfortable clothes, bring water, and note that there's an entrance fee. Ideal with a tour or your own vehicle.
Type of experience: Natural landscape, photography, contemplation.
