1.Valle de la Luna Guided Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 312 reviews · 4 hours · from $63Our pick

Guided Moon Valley in San Pedro, with salt dunes, Tres Marias, sunset views, plus snacks and a pisco sour, with hotel pickup.

“The tour itself was good and our guide was very nice. However we didn’t hear anything from the provider or pick ups until less than an hour before the activity with no way to contact them. Pick ups were quite unorganised and was just left waiting until they arrived to the hotel. Also the guide was also the driver so it was hard to hear him over the vehicle when sat at the back. Also it was very warm and at one point we were told we could use the toilet but had to be back within 10 mins but were then left waiting in the bus for 40 mins…”

For improvment: could provide details on the geological and cultural background of the area, spend less time at the 'tres marias' but more time to walk up the big dune. Overall highly recommended trip.”

7.Half day Valle de la Luna, Afternoon Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 52 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $47

Half-day Valle de la Luna tour from San Pedro de Atacama with a small group, salt cavern walks, dune climbs, and sunset at Ckari.

“Had a fantastic tour at the Valley of the Moon with Jared as guide and Ariel as driver. Jared was extremely knowledgeable on the area and geology in particular, and handled both English and Spanish speaking guests with ease, never making us feel like one group was being unfairly prioritised. We got snacks on the trip and the only slight issue was a 1h+ wait for the sunset at the end, but it was worth the wait. Highly recommended!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 15 reviews · 11 hours · from $147

Sunrise geysers at El Tatio and a small-group Moon Valley sunset, with hotel pickup, breakfast, and desert stops in one long day.

“Really good tour. It’s very cold at El Tatio geysers -5 degrees in the morning, so dress warm. Unfortunately it was really cold during our way there, the driver kept the AC on, so not a very comfortable ride there. However, overall it’s a good tour, you see a lot, we also saw flamingos and the sun set over moon valley.”

“Excellent service from FullTour, from the booking to the return of the tour. Compliance with schedules, easy communication, experienced and motivated guide. The tour was very interesting, the Valle de la Luna is amazing and is good to go if acclimating the altitudes of the Andino Altiplano. The highlight was the sunset seen from the coyote hill.Auto-translated”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 12 reviews · 5 hours · from $50

Guided Valle de la Luna tour from San Pedro de Atacama with a dune climb, cocktail before sunset, and big desert viewpoints in 5 hours.

“If you expect to learn about the geography, minerals, and how earthquakes affect this valley, or if you’re looking for a basic guided tour, do not book this one. The guide had zero information about any of these topics. The hotel pickup was a disaster. They asked me to wait at another hotel, which I did, but the lady there told me I wasn’t on the list. She was very strict about not checking, closed the doors, and only after our discussion did she finally check—and saw my name. Although the tour was advertised in English, it was mainly in Spanish. The guide only gave a very quick summary in…”

Tivemos um imprevisto, onde a rua de acesso estava interditada, ele prontamente ja sabia um atalho e assim fizemos o passeio com muita alegria e conversas, foi um ótimo dia.”
