Valle de La Luna
Known in English as the Moon Valley, this peculiar rocky and mountainous landscape is quite the attraction to behold when visited. Valle de la Luna is a mystical valley in the heart of the Atacama Desert. With dramatic rock formations, sand dunes, salt hills, mountains and valleys, the best way to explore Valle de la Luna is through a trek, by back or sandboarding. It is also famous for stargazing and its overwhelming nightlife.
Valle de la Luna is the most visited place in San Pedro de Atacama. This fantastic place is part of the Salt Mountain Range, which is in turn part of the Los Flamencos National Reserve. Nearby, you have the Valle de La Muerte with unbelievable geological formations, some of which have been sculpted into fascinating shapes and sizes by erosion.
Discover the odd sculptural shapes and sizes, enormous dunes, salt hills and valleys as well as the salt lake. Valle de la Luna is one of a kind especially as there’s no sign of plant or animal life there.
Visit Valle de la Luna for a magical experience of a stunning landscape.
