Сан Педро де Атакама

Moon Valley. Walking on the moon!

Description:

This is the correct name for this place. In the summer after the rains, the surface of the Moon Valley is covered with a white crust of salt and gypsum. It seems like we are actually walking on the moon.

 

 

The tour is held in the morning or evening. If you like walking, you will definitely be happy. Here we will climb the dune, where we will have an incredible view of the Andes mountain range.

 

 

 

 

An important moment in the history of the Moon Valley is the extraction of salt in the 30-40s. It was used both in food and in the mining industry. People lived here, arranging life right in the Moon Valley on soft rocks. People no longer live here, but abandoned houses and salt mines remain. We will have the opportunity to visit one of them.

 

 

If desired, you can explore the salt cave. Here we will see salt crystals of the correct shape, and we will also be able to taste.

 

 

If the tour is held in the evening, we observe the sunset on one of the observation decks of the Moon Valley.
