Valle del Arcoiris from Above – San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

Valle Arcoiris or Rainbow Valley is located near San Pedro De Atacama, a Chilean town and commune in El Loa Province, Antofagasta Region.

This unique landscape is located in the middle of the Atacama desert.

Rainbow Valley attracts attention for its extravagant rock formations and the wide variety of colors that can be observed in its lands and hills. This is a sector quite unknown and little explored.

Reddish, orange, green, blue, gray and white shades give a distinctive character to their landscapes and show us the great richness in salts and minerals that their mountains have.

This sector of the Domeyco mountain range stands out for the beautiful colors that its slopes look like.

However not only the colors attract attention, so do its spectacular rock formations, which are the product of tectonic movements, volcanic activity and erosion that has affected this sector for millions of years.

The desert here takes on a special character, the aridity and loneliness are dressed in color, transforming this valley into a place of unusual and very particular beauty.
