Due to space limitations, the next post will dive into the salt flats. For a comprehensive journey, check out the “Chile Series” collection on our homepage.
### 1⃣️ El Tatio Geysers
Embark on an adventure from the town along B-245 to the geysers, with two captivating stops along the way:
📍 **Mirante do Camelo** – Marvel at the uniquely shaped rocks that seem to have been sculpted by nature itself.
📍 **Laguna Flamingos** – Get up close and personal with flamingos in their natural habitat. For the best shots, bring a lens of over 400mm.
⚠️ We opted not to visit the geysers, stopping only for photos at these points. To witness the geysers, you’ll need to set off before dawn, around 4 or 5 AM. The altitude is quite high, so it’s advisable to avoid heavy meals before your early morning departure.
### 2⃣️ Valley of the Moon
**Ticket Office and Entrance:** 📍 **Centro de Información Valle de la Luna**
🎫 No reservations are needed; tickets can be purchased on-site through self-service kiosks, with card payment only. After purchasing your ticket, staff will provide a detailed map highlighting various attractions and hiking routes.
⛔️ The latest entry time is 5 PM, and all visitors must leave by 7 PM as staff begin clearing the area. It’s highly recommended to enter before 4 PM and stay until 7 PM to catch the breathtaking sunset.
📍 **Mirador de Kari – Piedra del Coyote**: This stunning sunset viewing point requires a separate ticket, though you can also purchase it along with your Valley of the Moon ticket.
Clearing starts at 8 PM, which can be a bit frustrating. On our visit, we were still capturing the beautiful sunset glow at 8 PM when they began to clear people out. As a result, we quickly drove to the nearby free sunset viewing point: 📍 **Mirador Likan-Antay**.
### 3⃣️ Mars Valley / Death Valley
We decided to skip this attraction due to the intense heat and sunlight, which made hiking less appealing.
