Atacama Desert and Northern Chile, Chile

Don’t miss the opportunity to star-gaze during a stay here- thanks to the positioning of the largest astronomical observatory in the world, Chile justifiably considers the Atacama Desert something of an astronomical attraction. There are plenty more fast-paced activities for the intrepid- 4WD adventures, trekking.

The far North of Chile offers plenty of opportunities for those fascinated by indigenous history, with the remains of many pre-Columbian finds. The North is also the gateway to Bolivia, with its snow-capped volcanoes, emerald-green lakes and flamingo-filled lagoons.
