This photo was taken in Guatin, which is just outside of San Pedro de Atacama, a small adventure tourist town located in Chile’s Atacama Desert.  We drove through Guatin during our Cactus and Geyser Tour with Cactus Expeditions.  The desert is flanked by snow capped mountains creating a brilliant contrast in landscapes and environments.

Valley of the Moon (Valle de la Luna) is located 13 kilometers west of San Pedro in the Cordillera de la Sal, in the Atacama desert of Chile. It has various stone and sand formations which have been created through the centuries by floods and wind and has also given it an impressive range of color and texture, looking somewhat similar to the surface of the moon.
