Overview

Ride a mountain bike out of San Pedro into the Cordillera de la Sal, following dirt tracks through salt caves and wind-carved canyons of the Valle de la Luna. The afternoon ends on a huge dune where you learn to sandboard before the light turns the valley red and violet.

The pace is relaxed with plenty of stops, and a support vehicle follows the group for anyone who wants a break.
