Come with us to the Atacama Desert - the “driest non-polar desert in the world”
One of the most impressive places in the north of Chile is San Pedro de Atacama. Not only do its landscapes look like they’re from another planet but its soil is used by scientists to simulate the experience of stepping on Mars. The wind flow, the ocean currents and the surrounding mountains are some of the factors which create these fascinating and unique conditions,
The average rainfall in the Atacama Desert is less than one millimetre per year and there are parts of it that have never received a drop of rain. Even in such extreme conditions, this amazing place has a very special energy. Despite the scarcity of water, it has never lacked life. The texture of the desert soil – which over three million years ago was part of the sea floor – is surrounded by numerous mountains and volcanoes and the colours of the sky change throughout the day offering a perfect backdrop for some staggeringly beautiful photos.
The impressive landscapes formed in the Atacama Desert not only amaze all who come to visit with its beautiful sunrises and sunsets. At night, these special geographic conditions allow for a crystal clear sky enticing astronomers from all around the world to come here to study the universe.
We invite you to come with us on this 5 day/4 night adventure to discover the marvellous landscapes, unique flora and fauna and the mystical local people of the Atacama Desert.
