Salt flats, geysers, high-altitude lagoons and some of the clearest night skies on earth.

From the adobe village of San Pedro de Atacama you can watch the sunset over the Valley of the Moon, see the El Tatio geysers at dawn, spot flamingos on salt lagoons and join world-class stargazing tours. The altitude is high — take it slowly.
