A 7-day trip to San Pedro de Atacama & The Atacama Desert
Hyper-arid salt flats, high-altitude geysers, and the world’s clearest night skies.
San Pedro de Atacama sits at 2,400 meters elevation in the driest non-polar desert on Earth. A compact, unpaved oasis town of adobe facades and dusty alleyways, it serves as the operational staging ground for dramatic high-altitude exploration: surreal salt basins, jagged wind-carved canyons, geothermal fumaroles at dawn, and celestial stargazing shielded from light pollution.
