5 Days Around San Pedro de Atacama
Description
Five private days across the Atacama Desert, the kind of place you don't come back from unchanged. You start with the transfer from Calama through Rainbow Valley —hills streaked with minerals— to San Pedro de Atacama, and a night of stargazing under the clearest skies in the south. Then come the dunes of the Cordillera de la Sal and Moon Valley, the salty lagoons of Baltinache, altiplanic lagoons of impossible blue and the red earth of Piedras Rojas. You cross the remote Pujsa and Tara salt flats, wildlife roaming beneath the volcanoes, and finish at sunrise over the Tatio Geysers before dropping down through Chiu Chiu and the Lasana fortress. Local guide, private 4WD transport and most meals included.
