We will head west from San Pedro de Atacama, first visiting Yerbas Buenas, an area of great historical importance, as it has one of the largest groups of petroglyphs in the region. Through this place, the indigenous caravans that traveled from the Argentine northeast and the Bolivian Altiplano crossed, and arrived as far as the Pacific Ocean. We will find very different carvings and drawings on the rock, such as llamas, camelids, birds, monkeys and dogs. Next, when crossing Matancilla, we will see the Rainbow Valley, called that way because of the different colors that the mountains have because of of minerals. The earthy, reddish, beige, green, white and yellow colors reveal the different concentrations of salts, clays and minerals. Let's go for a walk, going through its rock formations and the unique landscape of the place.

What To Expect

Valle De La Luna

The tour will start from the city center of San Pedro de Atacama, passing through the Cordillera del Sal in the Atacama Desert, the driest place in the world, towards one of the most picturesque spots: the Valley of the Moon. The names already give a clear sign of the landscape, where rock formations dominated by erosion, areas covered in salt, the Duna Mayor and views that make you feel as if you were on another planet. We will cross the valley, visiting the well-known rock formations: the Três Marias, the Cano and the Amphitheater. To finish the tour, we will enjoy the sunset from the Licarantay viewpoint, where you will be able to observe how the desert changes color, with huge volcanoes on the horizon, which offer a spectacle that will leave you speechless.

Incredible experience with Traveling With Me

When I started planning my trip to the Atacama and Salar de Uyuni, I researched various ways to make the tours, I contacted many companies from Brazil and Chile. I chose Traveling with me and it was definitely the best choice we made, William was very sought after and served us super well from the first contact, removed all our doubts, helped with the assembly of the script. The tours are outsourced to other companies, but that was not a problem, we were picked up at the right time, the guides were excellent and the food served during the tours as well. I pointed out and pointed out the work of Traveling With Me, they helped us realize our dream and it was all amazing!

I found the place very beautiful, but a walk I would never do again. In fact, we seem to be on another planet with an extensive area of sand mountains and rocky formations. We had already paid for the whole tour so we didn't waste time buying a ticket and we went straight to the main stops. Because this is a reservation has several access restrictions and we have to walk in restricted places, which does not inhibit the possibility of many beautiful photos. It's worth seeing.

Receptivo Capricórnio Expediciones (San Pedro de Atacama) Vale de la Luna (26/01) Beautiful landscapes and different from everything we know! The feeling is, in fact, like being on another planet! It is a beautiful tour, with different trails and great locations to photograph! Our tour, with guide Alejandro and driver Juan Antônio, was accompanied by various explanations about the geological formation, as well as about the historical importance of the site, which added even more depth to the landscape that is already beautiful. Finally, we had the opportunity to have an outdoor snack at Piedra del Coyote, where we watched a beautiful sunset. It was a stunning walk! I highly recommend!

We closed a package with Viajando Comigo for the three countries: Chile. Bolivia and Peru. The cost-benefit was very worth it. We were very well attended to by Willian, who provided a lot of security with the information and it was very comfortable to travel knowing that everything was planned and we had a single agency for everything. The Atacama tours with breakfast, lunch and cocktails were the highlights! The guides were very cool, very intelligent and with a lot of detailed information. The 4x4 trip to Salar de Uyuni was really surprising, one landscape more beautiful than the other, it seems like you're the only one in the places, you can explore a lot and the hotels, despite being simple, were excellent, well located, good food. High point for the Salt Hotel where we stayed the day before arriving at the salt flat, it was incredible. In Peru it was cool too, the cars and tours were simpler and without meals, the guides didn't have much patience to wait for us to take photos and the food included didn't have drinks like in Atacama and Bolivia. I highly recommend the script and the agency, they are super reliable and punctual and deliver everything as contracted, we didn't have any problems or problems with this, everything went as expected.

We made the complete tour of Atacama and Will was noted 1,000, always helpful and attentive helped us to assemble a super complete script with many tips that helped us too much. The trip was amazing and we were calm to take advantage of the maximum that this paradise had to offer us. The partner companies (locations of Atacama) offered a great Service, always very good vans, wonderful food and very good guides. Thanks to Will and the whole team!!
