If you arrive in the morning, you will visit the Valle de la Luna (Valley of the Moon) depression with a diameter of 500 mts of saline soil that presents intriguing sculpturous forms. We will also make a stop at the observation point where we will be able to observe the Cordillera de la Sal (Cordillera of the Salt) in its fullness. Return to San Pedro. Lodging.
Day 4. San Pedro de Atacama.Breakfast. We depart to Toconao, little town that sits on volcanic rock where one can appreciate its architectural structure and arts and crafts. We then enter into the Salar de Atacama (salt flat), Chile’s largest salt reservoir which can be appreciated in its fullness thanks to the fact that the air is completely dry. This white and rugged surface hides a great brackish lake and this is the reason why you can observe several types of flamingos. Return to San Pedro. Lodging.
Day 5. San Pedro de Atacama.At dawn, we depart towards the Geysers of Tatio: hot springs that episodically erupt fountains of scalding water and steam as a consequence of groundwater being heated to its boiling temperature in a confined space. In these particular geysers, the volcanic activity supplies the heat needed to boil shallow ground water. The best time to see them is between 05:30 and 07:00 in the morning, when the height of the eruptions can easily reach the 10 meters. We will take a geothermal walk, have breakfast and will continue towards Termas de Puritana (Thermal waters) and the town of Machuca located in a gorge inhabited by llamas and alpacas. Return to San Pedro. Lodging.
