  • Half-Day Trekking Las Cornisas, Catarpe and Valley of Death

After breakfast, you will set out to explore one of the most scenic trekking routes in the Atacama Desert. The journey begins in the Katarpe Valley, home to the San Pedro River, whose waters bring life and greenery to this otherwise arid landscape. Following an ancient route that once connected San Pedro de Atacama with Calama, you will reach the starting point of the hike.

The trail gradually ascends into the Cordillera de la Sal, leading to Cornisa, one of the area’s most spectacular viewpoints. From here, you will enjoy panoramic views of the Andes Mountains, the Atacama Salt Flat, the Domeyko Range, and the fertile Katarpe Valley below.

Continuing along the ridgeline, the landscape transforms as the Valley of Death (Valle de la Muerte) comes into view, revealing its vast volcanic dunes and dramatic desert formations. This hike offers a unique combination of geology, history, and unforgettable scenery, showcasing some of the most iconic landscapes of Atacama. After completing the trek, you will meet your vehicle and return to your hotel.

  • Half-Day Tatio Geyser

Early in the morning, we will pick you up to visit one of the highest geyser fields in the world. Located in the Andes Mountains, 78 km from San Pedro de Atacama and at 4.320 meters above sea level, El Tatio (from Kunza tata-iu) means The Crying Grandfather. It is the largest geyser field in the southern hemisphere and the third largest in the world, after Yellowstone (USA) and Dolina Giezerow (Russia). At dawn, in freezing temperatures, you can witness an astonishing spectacle created by violent steam flows rising up to 10 meters high with temperatures reaching 85°C.

On the way back, we will enjoy a panoramic view of the village of Machuca, a small Atacameño town located over 4.000 meters high, which is nearly deserted due to families migrating to nearby towns.

Finally, we will return to San Pedro.

 

  • Half-Day Moon Valley

In the afternoon, we will pick you up from your hotel to head to the Moon Valley. The excursion starts by exploring the huge geological formations located in one of the world’s driest and most hostile zones of the world: the Atacama Desert. You will be amazed by the salt and clay figures shaped by floods and winds over millennia. Discover the famous ‘Las Tres Marías’: figures of incomparable beauty that can be photographed and contemplated for a long time. Finally, we will visit the salt caves, to be surprised once again by the great magic of the desert, having the opportunity to enjoy the most beautiful sunset that you will not forget. After the excursion, we will take you back to your hotel.
