Itinerary:
Once you meet with the tour, we'll begin a 3-hour, relaxing trek that takes us on a night journey to learn about the legendary Incan messengers (the Chasqui).
We will start just before sunset from the town of San Pedro de Atacama. During the walk, we will talk about the history of the different ancient cultures that inhabited the region, including the Incas and Tiwanaku. We'll also learn about the different Andean constellations, and attempt to see the starry skies through the eyes of the people of the Andes.
At the end of our walk, we will take a rest with some hot wine and snacks.
