SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMA MOON VALLEY

The journey starts in San Pedro de Atacama, visiting some highlights such  the 17th-century Church of San Pedro and the Gustavo Le Paige Archaeological Museum, a small museum that, between its world renown collection of ancient Indian mummies, particularly well preserved due to the area’s extremely dry climate, and its pottery display, which includes a rare set of tabillas de Rapé, provides a surprisingly thorough overview of the cultural evolution in this region. The tour continues to the Valley of the Moon, an unusual landscape 90 percent salt and carbonate exquisitely eroded by water and wind to watch the magnificent sunset.
