Valle de la Luna
訪問に最適な時期
Late afternoon until sunset gives the strongest light, when the salt mountains glow in warm tones. Arrive around 4-5 p.m. to have time to hike before dusk and secure a good viewpoint.
予算のヒント
Entrance is paid in cash and costs around 4,000 pesos for foreign visitors, while Chileans and locals pay less. Get here on your own by bike or local bus; guided sunset tours cost considerably more without adding anything extra.
おすすめ対象
Photography enthusiasts, Nature lovers, Adventurous hikers, Families with older children
訪問時間の計画
3-4 hours
概要
クイックファクト: 雨は平均で年間わずか数ミリしか降らず、砂漠地帯の一部の観測所では一滴も記録したことがない。NASAはここで火星探査ロボットの試験走行を行った。土壌が赤い惑星の表面と驚くほど似ているからだ。
見どころ: 宇宙飛行士ニール・アームストロングは、この風景が月の表面を思い出させると語ったとされ、彼の訪問後にその名前が定着した。日没のころには塩の尾根に座っていよう。崖の壁が金色からピンク、そして深い紫へとゆっくりと変化していく。
インサイダーヒント
- Bring waterproof sunscreen and at least two liters of water per person; the salt flats reflect the heat brutally even before lunch.
- Be at the main viewpoint at least an hour before sunset to get the best spot when the colors shift.
- Skip the most touristed path to the sand dune; the smaller trails toward the caves give the same panorama without the crowds.
- Wear sturdy, closed shoes since the salt crystals are as sharp as glass and will shred open sandals.
