The driest place on Earth, the Atacama Desert is truly a magnificent feat of nature. Here you will find a huge array of natural wonders to explore, such as salt flats, lagoons, active geysers, flamingos in flight, and countless stargazing opportunities. While here, don’t miss the opportunity to explore Valle de la Luna (Valley of the Moon), a landscape carved out of red rocks and surrounded by soaring mountains – a lunar landscape like nothing from this world! The main village in this region, San Pedro, is a picturesque dusky town lined with quaint shop fronts selling arts and crafts. Venturing outside of the village of San Pedro, on the high Andean plateau, small traditional villages perch at 4,000 meters above sea level. Here you will experience a traditional Chile, where locals have lived the same lifestyles in extreme conditions for thousands of years!
