The story

This excursion includes a tour to the impressive Salt Mountains (Cordillera de la Sal). A geological phenomenon led to impressive sculptures made by wind and rain. You will visit the Mirador, Valle de la Muerte (Death Valley) and Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley).

Then descend 450 ft of the Death Valley on Sandboard!

In theory, it sounds simple, but when you’re up there looking down a 40-degree slope, the thought of going straight down does give pause for thought.

Do as many runs as your body allows you to – its hard work getting up there.
