Rainbow Valley and Yerbas Buenas

A hike through colors, history, and wildlife

Explore one of the most stunning and least-visited landscapes in the Atacama Desert: the Rainbow Valley, a hidden gem in the Domeyko mountain range where the hills display a natural palette of greens, reds, ochres, and whites—the result of millions of years of geological activity.

The tour begins early with a buffet breakfast in the heart of the highlands, after which we’ll head into Yerbas Buenas Park, home to a rich concentration of pre-Columbian petroglyphs that connect us to the ancient cultures that once inhabited this land.

We will continue on to the Rainbow Valley, where we will take easy hikes to enjoy the striking colors of the hills and observe the local flora and fauna. You may spot guanacos, donkeys, llamas, and various Andean birds in their natural habitat.

An ideal experience for lovers of photography, geology, and ancient culture.
