After an hour and a half of travel, we arrive at the unique natural sight of the Tatio Geysers, where 80 erupting geysers can be seen at an altitude of 4200 meters.

  • Valley of the Moon Today we head to "El Valle de la Luna" (Valley of the Moon). We are amazed by the giant sculptures made of salt and clay, formed by the power of time and wind. This valley has neither life nor humidity, making it one of the most inhospitable places on Earth. As the sun sets, a play of colors appears on the edges of the hills and canyons, the wind whistles through the rocks, and the sky changes from pink to purple, and finally to black. We enjoy cocktails and snacks, and at the end of the tour, we watch the sunset at one of the most beautiful spots in the area.
