Itinerary
We will begin our journey in the afternoon, when the sun starts to descend, and it must be said, the ideal moment for photographs! Our destination will be the mystical Vallecito: a place where nature has sculpted rock formations that evoke extraterrestrial landscapes and where the serenity of the environment will invite you to connect with the majesty of the place.
But that’s not all! As we progress, we will immerse ourselves in the history and geology of the area by visiting the ancient salt mines. These mines are silent witnesses to the intense human activity that, in times past, sought to extract the “white gold” from the earth. Here, the stories of the past and present intertwine in an exciting tale.
From the mines, we will head towards the impressive dunes, perfect places to let your imagination soar while observing the play of light and shadows drawn across the sand. We will continue our journey through the majestic ledges, which offer breathtaking panoramic views of the surroundings.
And, as a grand finale, we will make a stop at a peculiar point of interest: the famous abandoned bus. This vehicle, which lies in the middle of nowhere, has become an iconic monument of the area, wrapped in mystery and curiosity. What stories does it hide? Why was it left there? These and other intriguing questions will be part of the anecdotes we share on this exciting adventure.
We will conclude the day around 8 p.m. with a delicious cocktail at sunset designed for everyone’s enjoyment, regardless of the diet you follow!
