Death Valley by Glospi
It’s a beautiful place to go alone in the afternoon, it is possible to camp on the dunes, and some people go there to do sandboarding.

Bones of animals or of persons were found.
As the secura of the Atacama Desert determines, nobody can live in his Valley of the Death. But it is possible to admire it: the Valley of the Death is a festival of colors and forms.
The Valley of the Death is also one of the best places to practice sandboard.
The tour takes 2 hours and you can also go there in a horse. Leave a Comment

We visited the Death Valley on a combined tour that included Death Valley, a trek through the Quebrada de Kari (salt river bed) and ended with the sunset at the Moon Valley.
Death Valley is a fascinating view of what one might imagine Mars would be like. In fact, the location was supposed to be known as Valle de Marte (Mars Valley) but due to a pronunciation problem ended up being known as Valle de la Muerte (Death Valley). Either name works for the valley as there is nothing growing in its earth (no plant life). The valley has interesting rock formations and is a stunning red colour.
This tour we took through Cactus Tours and the total cost was 4000 pesos plus 2000 to enter the Moon Valley which is a national park. Leave a Comment Directions: Located about 10 kms north of San Pedro de Atacama on the highway heading towards Calama. It is on the right hand side of the highway.

La puesta en el Valle de la Muerte es espectacular ya que por un lado ves como se va el sol y por el lado opuesto ves a los volcanes y a las montañas como cambian de colores hasta ponerse casi rojas
The sunset in the Death Valley is spectacular as in one side you see how the sun goes and in the other you see the volcanoes and the mountains changing colours up to become nearly reds Leave a Comment

Al atardecer hay que ir a la Gran Duna en el valle de la muerte para ver la puesta de sol
At dusk you must go to the Big Dune in the Death Valley to see the sunset Leave a Comment

El misionero belga R.P Le Paige , padre de la investigación arqueológica en la región , le quiso dar el nombre de Valle de Marte por su parecido a lo que podía ser la orografía de Marte , pero debido a un error de pronunciación se quedó con el nombre que se ha mantenido a través de los años : Valle de la Muerte
Entramos por un estrecho cañón y bajamos andando por un camino de arena bordeando una duna inmensa y formaciones rocosas espectaculares
es parte de la cordillera de la sal
The Belgium missioner R.P. Le Paige , father of the archaeological investigation in the area , wanted to name it Mars Valley because its appearance it was similar to what should be in Mars , but due to a pronunciation mistake it kept the name that has been maintained during the years : Death Valley
We entered by a narrow canyon and we went down walking by a sand way at the edge of a huge dune and spectacular rocky forms
It is part of the salt range Leave a Comment
