Exploration Path
We leave the hotel to go to the Mars Valley, where we horseback ride among typical desert landscapes: dunes, reddish sedimentary rock formations and clay grounds. This exploration is perfect to get an idea of the geography and origin of the Salt Ridge.
For experienced and advanced riders only. This exploration is only available for advanced riders who have mastered rising trot and canter over uneven terrain in open spaces and on all types of horses. A test in the hotel is required before going out into the desert.
*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.
