This half-day bus tour explores the Valley of the Moon in the Los Flamencos National Reserve near San Pedro de Atacama. The tour lasts about four hours and includes shared transportation with pickup at the operator’s office. A bilingual driver-guide leads the visit. The journey begins at the Valley of the Moon, where visitors see notable formations including the Amphitheater, Duna Mayor, and the three rock formations known as Las Tres Marías. The area sits at approximately 2,407 meters above sea level and resembles a lunar landscape. After exploring the valley, the group takes a walk up the largest dune, roughly 800 meters long. From this vantage point, there are wide views of the Andes Mountain Range, the amphitheater, and surrounding salt mountain ranges. The final stop is the Mirador de Kari (Piedra del Coyote), which overlooks parts of the Salar de Atacama, Cordillera de Domeyko, Cordillera de la Sal, and the Andes Mountains. This viewpoint is where the group typically waits to watch the sunset. Entrance to the national reserve is not included unless selected. The tour does not allow pregnant women and requires participants to be at least seven years old.
