Valle de la Luna. Felipe made the experience so much better. - Felipe was and I’m sure he will continue to be a great and knowledgeable guide. He provided so much information about this magical place. Felipe made our tour fun and pleasant, so much so, that we booked another tour the next day.

Valley of the Moons - Enjoyable tour, interesting landscape. Our guide Daniel was informative and funny. Sunset was pretty but unfortunately the dust in the air made it very hazy.

Okay… sunset was the highlight… guide good - The park involved two walks uphill through sand each about 30 minutes; I did only one which I found tough in my mid-60’s. They are not mentioned online when booking or at any time before the park. But sunset viewing is outside of the park (seems to close at 7pm) along the road I think to Calama…without any uphill hike,.. now those were the amazing views. It’s super hot in the day. I think doing Salar de Uyuni might have taken the gloss off the Valle as I’d skip the park and get to the sunset only if I were someone with a wonky knee or didn’t need the strenuous uphill hike or dust dose in the arvo breeze. For young or fitter persons, the park might be nice early morning at own speed without the crowds. All that said, our guide, Ernie, was beaut! Multilingual. Smile pasted across his face even when a grimace might be hidden in dealing with situations where participants walk on stones outside of the paths instead of the stones inside of the path and find themselves (and don’t forget poor Ernie) falling foul of the ever vigilant path police.
