Where salt flats, geysers, and stargazing await.

Chile’s Atacama Desert is a dream for adventurous travellers – a place of vast salt flats, steaming geysers, and otherworldly rock formations. With its warm days, cool nights and impossibly clear skies, it’s perfect for stargazing, exploring lunar-like landscapes, and unwinding in natural hot springs.

In northern Chile, the Atacama Desert is one of the driest places on Earth and a landscape like no other. It's a surreal mix of rust-red ravines, rainbow-hued rock formations, and the vast Altiplano plateau creates an adventure-lover’s dream – whether you're exploring by foot, bike, jeep, or horseback.

Highlights include El Tatio, home to the world’s highest geysers, and the immense Salar de Atacama, a shimmering salt flat dotted with flamingos. Watch sunset transform the Moon Valley into a glowing spectacle, soak in the Puitama hot springs, or go sandboarding in Death Valley.

With crystal-clear skies and virtually no light pollution, the Atacama is also one of the best places on the planet for stargazing. Join a guided astronomy tour for a deeper look at the Milky Way, planets, and constellations – it’s a truly unforgettable experience.

Your base is San Pedro de Atacama, a charming adobe town with a laid-back feel. Stroll through its sandy streets, visit archaeological sites, browse local crafts, and try traditional Chilean flavours in cosy cafes. With a cultural history stretching back thousands of years, San Pedro is the perfect gateway to this extraordinary desert.
