Valle de la Muerte

Also known as “Death Valley”, this is an astounding place to go on a hike, go horseback riding, or even go sandboarding. Located in the northeast of the country near San Pedro de Atacama, there are guided moonlight walks as well that take you out over the rocky martian landscape. You can rent a sand board for around 7,500 CLP or go on a sand board tour for closer to 22,000 CLP per person. There are even tours that sand board at midnight, using spotlights to light the way (they have DJ too!). If you’re looking to hike, check out the Corniza Trail. It’s a 7-hour loop that’s relatively easy (many families do it).
