Additional Information

It’s a barren land, a testament to a unique geological formation.

Beautiful Place - I was mostly interested in seeing the sunset over Valle de la Luna, but the tour through the valley was really great, especially the hike through the Great Dune

Terrific trip with really great guide, Javier - We had a fantastic afternoon trip with Javier whose knowledge and excitement to share it was exceptional. It's an incredible landscape with so much to see and to learn. Javier imparted as much as he could on the trip (which was all in fluent English) from geography, astronomy and more. The afternoon/early evening was finished off by watching the sunset over the valley which was just magical. We couldn't have asked for any more!

Fantastic tour with beautiful landscape and excellent guide. Definitely recommend with this company. - We had fantastic tour to moon valley. The guide Marta explained about the history and geology of the stunning landscape and went beyond to ensure that we had the best experience by avoiding the many other groups. She also helped me personally when we were walking to a stunning high viewpoint. Highly recommend.

Valle de la Luna San Pedro de Atacama - We booked last minute and was glad we did. We had Lorena as our guide and boy, she was energetic, passionate and very informative. She toggled between Spanish and English and we felt that all the information she was giving us was not at all lacking. She really wanted us to get the most of our exploration. This tour is a must, inspite of the weather turning on us toward the end, she still pushed on to find us a viewpoint where the cool drizzle got our group even more excited. Highly recommend it.

Recommended. Great tour. Lorena was amazing! - Amazing tour. Far exceeded my expectations. We started early, because of a forecast storm, so we missed the sunset. But so worth going. Our guide, Lorena, was fantastic. Just the right amount of information, lots of energy, lots of humour. Recommended.
