We'll pick you up at your hotel at 15:00pm to head to the famous Akivi ahu, the most important ceremonial center on the island also known as a celestial observatory. Composed of seven moais, it is one of the few ceremonial centers that are located in the interior of the island and not on the coast. Of homogeneous design, the seven statues measure 4 meters high and have a particularity that can only be seen in this place on the island: they face exactly the sunset during the spring equinox and turn their backs at dawn during the autumn equinox. It is a place of enormous cultural interest and definitely a must of the island.

Then we will continue our journey towards Uri to Urenga, the four-handed moai restored by William Mulloy in 1976. Located on a platform 13 meters long by four meters wide, the moai looks towards where the sun rises during the winter solstice (June 21) and its platform is aligned with two neighboring hills, Maunga Mataengo and Maunga Traina, plus two smaller nearby ahu. For this reason, it is believed that it was an important solar observatory in the Rapa Nui calendar.

Our last destination will be the quarry of Puna Pau, an important source of red volcanic rock that was used to sculpt the headdresses of the moai. It is deduced that this material was used because it was easy to carve and because of its distinctive reddish color. 

Finally we will climb to the top of the quarry, from where we will see the small crater of Puna Pau and the splendid views of Hanga Roa and the west coast of the island.

After four hours of travel, we will drop you off at your hotel.

In addition, we will take advantage of the day to know the Rano Raraku quarry, where the moais were formerly sculpted. As it is said on the island, in that area there are 400 moai among those found on the slopes of the quarry and buried underground.

It is located in the Río Grande basin, about 90 km from San Pedro de Atacama, very close to the Petroglyphs of Yerbas Buenas. It owes its name to the wide range of shades that can be observed in the valley's hills. The colors reflect the richness and varying concentrations of clay, salts, and minerals.

We start very early, heading 90 km from San Pedro to the Río Grande basin, where we reach the Rainbow Valley. Its name is given due to the variety of colors that can be seen in the valley's hills; earthy tones, reds, beige, greens, whites, and yellows. All combined with traces of white salt and a blue sky. The colors of this area showcase the ecological richness of clay, minerals, and salts. We will visit this place on a 1-hour hike, with a 1-hour return.

We depart early, where we will pick you up at your hotel in the morning, and head to the Pukará de Quitor.

The Pukará de Quitor is an ancient pre-Columbian fortress located in northern Chile, near the city of San Pedro de Atacama. It is an important archaeological site that is part of the cultural heritage of the region. The Pukará (which in the Kunza language means 'fortress') is situated atop a hill and offers panoramic views of the surroundings, including the Valley of the Moon and the Salar de Atacama.

Then, we head to the Tulor Village, another significant archaeological site located near San Pedro de Atacama in northern Chile. It is known for being one of the oldest pre-Hispanic villages found in the region, believed to have been inhabited by the Atacameño culture over 2,800 years ago.

Tulor is particularly interesting due to its unique design and architecture. It is composed of circular adobe and mud structures, many of which are connected by narrow passageways. These structures are arranged concentrically, creating a circular pattern that is distinctive to the village. Archaeologists believe that this layout may have had practical and cultural purposes.

Located in the middle of a canyon, surrounded by fox tails, the Puritama Hot Springs, which means "Water" (Puri) and "Hot" (tama), have a total of 8 pools with thermal waters that have a temperature between 28° and 31° Celsius, suitable for the whole family. Their water contains a significant concentration of minerals, including calcium, magnesium, sodium, and boron, all of which are revitalizing elements for the body and mind.

Located 30 km from San Pedro de Atacama, their waters originate in the Andes Mountains and reach high temperatures due to their proximity to volcanic materials. They then flow to the surface in the Puritama River, creating eight natural pools surrounded by hills and native vegetation.

The facility is equipped with changing rooms, bathrooms, and terraces at each of the pools.

Note: The Puritama Hot Springs Tour can be done in the morning starting at 8:30 AM, subject to availability.
