Altiplano & Atacama Desert

3 Days Around San Pedro de Atacama

3 days / 2 nights Moderate

Description

Three private days to step straight into the Atacama Desert, without the rush or the crowds. You start by crossing Rainbow Valley on the way to San Pedro de Atacama, then close the first day under some of the clearest skies on Earth on a stargazing tour. Day two takes you through the Cordillera de la Sal and the Moon Valley, and unwinds in the hidden lagoons of Baltinache. On the last day you rise early for the Tatio geysers and their hot springs, returning past the villages of Chiu Chiu and the Lasana fortress. Private guide and 4WD transport throughout; the pace bends to you.
