The Desert of Atacama
Atacama, Chile
Chile is nature on a symphonic scale, where diverse landscapes expand from the driest desert on earth to southern titanic glacial fields. Parched dunes, fertile valleys, volcanoes, ancient forests, clear rivers, massive glaciers and fjords are all on Chile’s menu. One of the most impressive landscapes is Chile’s Atacama Desert, considered the driest place in the world. Visit the Geysers of El Tatio, an incredible desert spectacle, where you can walk right up to columns of hot steam ejecting from the ground.
To get the most out of your stay, we would place you in Explora, San Pedro de Atacama - a haven of understated elegance and natural beauty in the Atacama Desert. It is a 42-acre oasis immersed in virgin nature & out-of-this-world scenery, looking out over snow-capped volcanic peaks and shimmering salt pans by day, and incredibly clear starscapes by night. Their philosophy is environmental immersion through active journeying. Throughout your stay, you will become acquainted with the region’s multiple aspects - geography, history, fauna, volcanoes, ancient villages. Decide each day between 8 to 10 options (for example walking, horseback riding, cycling) specifically selected according to the weather, your personal preferences, duration and difficulty.
Remark
Complete your Chilean excursion by travelling southwards, watch the land transform from dry desert to glaciers...
