Review of San Pedro de Atacama’s Valle de la Luna afternoon tour, with sunset views, desert walks, guide quality, costs, tips, and drawbacks.

“Due to heavy wind the Moon Valley Tour was cancelled. But we were offered a tour to watch the stars at night. So we took that one and asked if we could also go somewhere to watch the sunset above the desert first. The guides said that this is no problem. So we saw an amazing sunset and after that we drove to a little village where the inhabitants told us some interesting facts about the stars and constellations and it was so dark there, you could even see the milkyway. This tour was awesome! And so was the company as they fulfilled all our wishes :”
