2pm: return to San Pedro for lunch at leisure in one of the towns many characterful little restaurants.

4pm: set off by 4x4 to a spot just outside town to walk. Start from a viewpoint over the dunes of Valley of the Moon. Walk gently downhill to reach a narrow gorge in the Salt Mountains. The rocks cool and contract as the sun fades, crackling and popping all around you. Reach a natural amphitheatre where you will be greeted with wine and snacks. Relax as the sun sets.

Age range, type of group

Varies by holiday - mix of couples & singles.

Sleeping and meals

Generally stay in first class locally owned small hotels. Lots of character, good locations and very comfortable.

In remote areas of Patagonia we use the mountain 'refuges' - chalet style communal accommodation.

Restrictions

In the Atacama this holiday involves day walks, some of which are at high altitude. In Patagonia you walk for 4 days across Torres del Paine, staying in refuges along the way. This part of the holiday involves your carrying a light pack for several days in a row. Although the pace of the walking is gentle you should be reasonably fit.
