Exploring the Atacama Desert: A Trekker’s Paradise

The Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on Earth, offers an otherworldly landscape filled with hidden gems beyond the typical tourist spots. Start your adventure in **San Pedro de Atacama**, the perfect base for exploring the region’s breathtaking scenery.

For an off-the-beaten-path trek, hike through the **Rainbow Valley (Valle del Arcoíris)**, where mineral-rich hills glow in shades of red, green, and yellow. Another less-visited spot is **Valle del Diablo (Devil’s Valley)**, where you can walk through dramatic rock formations without the crowds of Valle de la Luna.

If you love wine, take a side trip to **Valle del Elqui**, a few hours away, to taste high-altitude Chilean wines and pisco. For mesmerizing views, visit the **Piedras Rojas (Red Rocks)** and the **Altiplanic Lagoons**, where vibrant blue lakes contrast with the surrounding mountains.

End your day with a stargazing tour—Atacama’s night skies are among the clearest in the world!

We look forward to seeing you at the Atacama Desert - Chris, Lyn and the Team
