    Hiking

    A former salt mine in the Valle de la Luna valley

    Hiking

    Short path past an old salt mine. Currently only parking lot two is open here.

    What I liked best: The salt crystals not only partly look like ice, but also sound like it. The rocks crackle and crack at the mining sites.

    The Valley of the Moon area was originally named “Las Salinas” due to the great amount of salt that allowed the development of a small salt mining operation and extraction. One of the mines is the Victoria Mine whose owner was Gabino Aguilar who named the mine after his wife Victoria Vilca.
