Cultural Tour to the Rainbow Valley and Yerbas Buenas
Immerse yourself in the colors and ancient history of the Rainbow Valley
Step into a fascinating corner of the Atacama Desert, where geology, history and culture intertwine in a truly unique landscape. This experience invites you to explore the Rainbow Valley, a place that seems to have been lifted from a dream, where mountains and rock formations sport a natural palette of colors that vary between green, red, ochre, white and violet, a product of the rich mineral composition of the terrain.
Before arriving at the valley, we will stop at Yerbas Buenas, an archaeological site of great value for the Atacameño culture, where you can admire ancient petroglyphs carved into the rock by the civilizations that inhabited these lands thousands of years ago. These engravings are silent testimony to a profound worldview, in which human beings lived in harmony with the desert and its mysteries.
