Strange lunar landforms eroded by eons of wild weather crowd the horizon; bleak dunes and distant volcanoes amp up the surreality. For maximum impact, visit at sunset, when the valley is bathed in an unearthly purple, pink and gold glow.

well, go, go again and just feel and love it. Shame that they closed the hiking route but still a wonderfull place to start your journey to the outer world of Atacama

Get a bike in the afternoon so you can get it down to about 3000 peso. We set of about 4pm but you probably want to set off about 3pm to give yourself some extra time. Take a torch as there is a little cave to get through at the first stop (starts off as a canyon). Then head up... More
