ASTRONOMICAL & ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY TOUR
Shared tour
Step under one of the clearest night skies on the planet. This night tour combines guided astronomical observation with a hands-on astrophotography session in the Atacama Desert, where low light pollution, high altitude, and dry air create ideal stargazing conditions. Travelers are transferred to an astronomical base outside San Pedro de Atacama, away from light pollution, to observe constellations and celestial bodies with the naked eye and specialized telescopes. The experience includes a cocktail, guided astronomical interpretation, and a long-exposure astrophotography session beneath the desert sky.
VALLE DE LA LUNA & VALLE DE MARTE TOUR
Shared tour
Explore two of the Atacama Desert's most iconic landscapes in one afternoon: the moon-like formations of Valle de la Luna and the red canyons of Valle de Marte, closing with sunset over the Cordillera de la Sal. Located within the Cordillera de la Sal, Valle de la Luna and Valle de Marte showcase rock formations shaped over millions of years by wind erosion, ancient lakebeds, and tectonic activity. The tour explores canyons, dunes, salt ridges, and shifting desert colors, closing with sunset over the Andes and surrounding volcanoes.
VALLE DEL ARCOÍRIS & YERBAS BUENAS PETROGLYPHS TOUR
Shared tour
Combine geology, archaeology, and history in one morning — the multicolored mineral formations of Valle del Arcoíris and the ancient rock art of Yerbas Buenas, one of the most important petroglyph sites in northern Chile. Valle del Arcoíris stands out for its red, green, white, yellow, and ochre tones, produced by minerals deposited over millions of years, and offers one of the best vantage points to understand how the Andes, Cordillera de Domeyko, and Cordillera de la Sal were formed. The tour continues at Yerbas Buenas, home to rock carvings made by pre-Columbian peoples depicting caravans, llamas, hunters, and symbols tied to the ancient Andean trade routes.
LAGUNA CEJAR, OJOS DEL SALAR & LAGUNA TEBENQUICHE TOUR
Shared tour
A relaxing circuit through the Salar de Atacama's most iconic lagoons — float naturally in the high-salinity waters of Laguna Cejar, admire the freshwater Ojos del Salar, and close the day with sunset reflections at Laguna Tebenquiche. The tour begins at Laguna Cejar, known for a salt concentration high enough to float naturally, similar to the Dead Sea. It continues at Ojos del Salar, small freshwater lagoons contrasting with the arid salt flat, and closes at Laguna Tebenquiche, one of the best spots to see volcano and sky reflections on calm water.
