September 19 to 23th, 2012
With some of the best available walking tours in the mountains, gorges and picturesque Atacamen villages, we have developed this wonderful program with 2 nights base camp in the beautiful village of Caspana, where we enjoy great meals and pleasant company, Pared Sur style.
The first 2 days are spent exploring the impressive gorges through Caspana and Toconce where we can find formidable rocky canyons with thousands of farming terraces nestled in the mountains, truly a sight to see. The third day we will ascend to the peak of the 4600m Chita mountain, previously used as a ritual sanctuary long ago. Then we will move to the town of San Pedro to enjoy the last night of the primary program, with the option to extend the adventure to climb the Lascar and Licancabur in the following days.
We recommend reserving your space in advance on this popular tour and take advantage of great deals on tickets.
