VALLE DEL ARCOÍRIS - ATACAMA

Rainbow Valley Millennia of color, minerals and ancient rock art Step into a landscape shaped by millions of years of volcanic activity and tectonic movement. Located at 3,000 meters above sea level, Rainbow Valley gets its name from the vivid tones that color its mountains—red, green, white and ochre—caused by varying concentrations of clays, salts, and minerals exposed to intense desert weathering. This experience also includes a visit to Yerbas Buenas, one of the most important archaeological sites in the region, where you’ll find petroglyphs left by ancient Atacameño cultures. These rock carvings depict animals, rituals and daily life scenes, offering a glimpse into the past. A tour that combines geology, culture, and unforgettable scenery.
