Stunning landscapes

Unfortunately no agency offered to visit the valley of death (or valley of Mars) or we could not find it. 3km from San Pedro de Atacama we took a transport and there we paid access, about 10€ in Chilean pesos, an 8km round trip easy and nothing demanding where you see landscapes taken from Mars and the moon movies! From the viewpoint stunning views! Thanking the guard at the entrance helps you find transportation back, as we are left “thrown away” with no data or number to call! Recommended! Of course, you have to ensure the transfer! 🤦‍♂️

Amazing

The Vale de La Luna we went with the Agency Feel Atacama. Mandatory tour! Death Valley we made ourselves, because the Agency sells it with sandboard, and we have no security in practicing this activity. We left one morning from our lodging in the Center of San Pedro, we walked 3km and arrived in Death Valley. There we made the trail of almost 10 km (go and return), alone too. Well worth it. It's a beautiful scene!!! You can do it in a free morning or afternoon. On the tour of La Luna Valley, we stopped at Death to see the sunset. Perfect!
