    The guide, Jason, was awesome. We were talking all the time, but also respecting the resting times, that we really needed, because the tour started really soon, but it totally worth it. He picked me up from my hostal and then we were picking the other people of the tour. We watched the stars, the sunrise and, obviously, the Death Valley from different places. I really recommend this tour, it seems like no much people knows about this activity in Civitatis, but that must change. Thanks Jason

Salt flats, mountains, and arid dunes: discover one of the most impressive desert landscapes in the United States on this day trip to Death Valley National Park from Las Vegas.

Salt flats, mountains, and arid dunes: discover one of the most impressive desert landscapes in the United States on this day trip to Death Valley National Park from Las Vegas.

Day Trip Details

Despite its name, Death Valley is one of the most beautiful locations in the Mojave Desert, known for its unforgiving summer heat and the lowest elevation in North America.

We'll set off on the 1.5-hour drive to Death Valley National Park, located on the border of Nevada and California, driving through the arid landscape and making a number of stops to visit some of the most emblematic places, starting with Rest Stop Area 51, a funky alien-themed souvenir shop. From there, we'll stop by Death Valley Nut & Candy Co, then Rhyolite Ghost Town, before crossing Hell's Gate, the entrance to Death Valley National Park.

Next, we'll be in the vicinity of the famous Mesquite Sand Dunes, where we'll stop for a delicious American-style breakfast. We'll then continue to various sightseeing destinations, including Badwater Basin, an impressive salt flat at one of the lowest points on land at 86 meters (282 feet) below sea level, and Zabriskie Point, a lookout with spectacular views of the unique landscape.

Throughout our drive around the valley, we'll experience everything this incredible region has to offer: towering mountains, low valleys, sand dunes, canyons, and multi-colored rolling hills formed by mineral deposits.

After around 10 hours of adventure, we'll return to our starting point.
