Sunset over the Moon Valley

After the Duna Mayor, the tour proceeded to the Moon Valley viewpoint to see the sunset. We reached the spot by around 7:45 pm. The sun was still a bit above the horizon but the moon on the opposite side was up amd right next to the Lincacabur volcano. It was a fantastic view with the volcano looking golden in the setting sun's hues. The whole of the Moon Valley was visible from our vantage position and as the sun started going down, we saw different colors on the valley surface. From golden in the early stages to yellow and then orange and then light violet as the sun set. It was fabulous. As soon as the sun set around 8 pm, it became quite cold and windy. We all packed into our buses and were back in San Pedro de Atacama by 8:30 pm.Read more
