Exploration Path
We take a van to the Salt Mountain Range. We begin our walk at a viewpoint with panoramic views to the Moon Valley. We go down a dune and walk along Kari creek, a canyon carved by the erosion of water and surrounded by sedimentary walls of clay, plaster, and salt. We return by van.
*Temporarily unavailable. Consult other exploration options with your Explora guide at the destination.
Geometric and seemingly infinite, the Atacama salt flat abruptly interrupts the desert’s chromatic continuum.
