This was the last site we visited during the 3 weeks we spent in chili. We discovered amazing landscapes, great colors from red to green white and brown, simply magic.We went there with a rental car (standard, no 4x4) and could access the place quite easily even if the end of the road is quite damaged. To go there, drive from SPA to calama and turn right in the road to rio grande. Follow the road about 25km than after passing the tourism building, turn left before the bridge, this is where the journey starts!
Only half of the tour when we saw the petroglyphs was good. The place that they call as "Valle Arcoirs" looked like a bunch of tailings piles of abandoned mine. Just go if you don´t have anything else to do!
Absolutely stunning!The mountains/hills in The Rainbow Valley range from purple, green, and blue in colour. You can also find various rocks, minerals, and crystals on the ground as you trek across this vast picturesque valley of rocks and minerals.
Do not miss this tour: you will be amazed with the colors of the mountains due to different minerals that compose these. Views are spectacular
Spectacular geological formation. Very colorful and visually entertaining. The ride to the location is another matter. Lots of rough road and bouncing around in the tour bus. Guys, bring your athletic supporter for the bus ride!!
We had a great time in there, the colours of the rocks was beautiful, and the class we had with our guide was incredible! You can see the Inca Road from there. Worth a visit for sure
This was one of the excursions arranged through our hotel and if you get the chance make sure you visit. The drive along leading to the valley was pretty impressive but the actual valley is something else. The range of colours is absolutely fantastic. Additionally there are lots of "sculptures" resulting from wind erosion and water, when there is some. We had 4 different excursions during our visit and this was one of the best.
It's totally easy to reach by car during summer! The road until the entrance is made of asphalt! In the unpaved road there are some small rivers to cross, but we did it easily. Go through the little roads to discover the colorful mountains! It's one of the most amazing landscapes in this town!
Ok tour but if you have to choose, go for the geysers or Valle de la Luna, way more impressive! If you end up going, don´t expect the photoshopped colors they sell you :)
An array of multicolour layers forming the most amazing mountains. We spent the morning in a small group admiring this area. Just spectacular and still at only 3000 mts above sea level, ideal for someone who does not want to go to the higher altitude excursions in the area.Sorry but I don't have any negavites in regards to this visit.
