Atacama Desert

Adventure Holidays to the Atacama Desert

Running between the Pacific and the Andes, the remote Atacama Desert in Chile is like no place on earth. A surreal lunar landscape – rusty rocks offsetting the white salt pan and mountains rising in the distance – is an epic backdrop for one of the most spellbinding, golden pink sunsets one could ever hope to see.

And it’s not all dry desert. There are geysers and rocky, white salt flats, volcano-topped horizons, lagoons and traditional villages. Spot flamingoes and other birds who call this peaceful, yet very much alive, part of the world home. San Pedro de Atacama, in the heart of the desert, is the perfect place to drink a pisco sour and take it all in.
