Piedra del Coyote (Mirador de Kari)
Piedra del Coyote
A rocky viewing platform jutting out over a cliff near the entrance to Moon Valley, a classic spot for photographing the sunset over the Cordillera de la Sal and the Licancabur volcano.
Piedra del Coyote (Coyote Rock) lies on the edge of Kari Canyon. A rock that juts out over the cliff is a popular photo spot. From here you can see the layered folds of the Cordillera de la Sal, the Salar de Atacama, and the Andean volcanoes. At sunset the whole valley changes from orange to purple. This is also one of the places where stargazing tours often stop. It is a Kari viewpoint, and the entry fee is charged in pesos. Traffic is heavy in the evening. It is about 7 kilometers from San Pedro, so you can cycle there or combine it with a Moon Valley tour.
