Sairemos do seu hotel em San Pedro de Atacama às 15:00, aproximadamente, e iremos rumo à cordilheira de La Sal. No caminho faremos um desvio para conhecer a rota pela qual se transportava o enxofre desde San Pedro de Atacama.

Depois passaremos pelo Valle de Los Dinosaurios e o Valle de La Muerte para admirar uma vista panorâmica espetacular do Deserto do Atacama.

Continuaremos o caminho até o Valle de La Luna, onde encontraremos formações geológicas que são o resultado de sucessivas dobras da crosta terrestre.
