The Confluencia Canyon Hike covers approximately 6 km through a narrow canyon carved by the Río Grande, following its course until it meets the Río Salado, the point where the two rivers merge. Along the way, the landscape shifts between towering rock walls, desert vegetation, and subtle archaeological details, including ancient rock art preserved on the canyon walls.
This is a refreshing and immersive hike, with sections where you’ll walk through shallow water — an element that adds both fun and a sense of exploration to the experience.
The Confluencia Canyon Hike offers a different side of the Atacama, combining adventure, geological formations, and a touch of archaeology. Walking through water, observing desert flora, and discovering ancient rock art make this experience both interactive and culturally rich, beyond the classic desert landscapes.
