Rainbow Valley (Valle Arcoiris) Tours and Tickets

Keep your camera to hand as you journey through the startling landscapes of the Rainbow Valley on this 4-hour morning excursion from San Pedro de Atacama. Learn about the unique geology and mineral-rich rocks of the Domeyko Mountains that give the valley its name, as you weave your way though the multi-colored rock formations. Next, take a peek at the pre-Columbian ruins of Hierbas Buenas, famed for its ancient petroglyphs, then visit the handicrafts village of Rio Grande.

At 3,500 meters above sea  is the Rainbow Valley. The Rainbow Valley is used in the basin of the Rio Grande, about 90 kms from San Pedro de Atacama. The access road must be joined on the route to Calama. The valley, like the rest of the attractions of San Pedro de Ataca and its surroundings, is well above 3000 meters above sea level. The Rainbow Valley is located near Sanitiago de Rio Grande or Rio Grande and very close to the Petroglyphs of Yerbas Buenas, which like other attractions in the area is managed by the Atacameña Community of the place.
