About the experience

Valley of energy and silence with colorful mineral formations, closed with a cocktail of local delicacies. The Rainbow Valley is located about 90 km from San Pedro de Atacama, on an ancient Andean route. Upon arrival we are greeted by a valley of hills bathed in colors: a cultural tour to a geological journey through rocks of earth tones, reddish, beige, green, white and yellow, which combine in strange formations and allow us to learn more about the local geology of Chile.

“Cris, thank you so much for guiding my wife and I through one of the biggest challenges of our lives. We are not athletes and have little experience on high altitude trails, and yet you guided us with confidence, attention and safety to the top of Cerro Toco. In addition to leading us with a lot of love, kindness and good conversation on the way there and back. I wish you and your wife much success in your journey leading On the Road. A big hug from Brazil!”
