Exploration Path
After a 45-minute drive to the Salt Mountain Range, we begin our horseback ride in a sector known as Vallecito, near the Moon Valley. We ride through formations of salt and gypsum, where the ground crunches beneath the hooves and the landscape reveals the unique geology of this mineral range. We return to the hotel by van at the end of the ride.
Geometric and seemingly infinite, the Atacama salt flat abruptly interrupts the desert’s chromatic continuum.
