Mars Valley / Death Valley
Mars Valley (Valle de la Muerte/Valle de Marte) offers otherworldly salt-rock formations, rippled dunes and ochre cliffs that mimic a Martian landscape. Best at golden hour and blue hour for deep shadows and saturated colors; sunrise and sunset reduce heat haze. Accessible from San Pedro de Atacama by short drive (some dirt road); small park fee and limited parking at main viewpoints. Bring wind protection, plenty of water and warm layers for cold desert nights. Respect protected status and stay
