What to do and Where to stay in
Atacama Desert and The North

A visit to the Atacama Desert wouldn’t be complete without some stargazing, the region boasts some of the clearest skies on Earth and is home to the world’s largest astronomical observatory turning the desert into an open-air planetarium. For those craving more fast paced activities, the Atacama offers exciting adventures like 4WD excursions, trekking through Mars-like landscapes and exploring geysers and salt flats.

Northern Chile also has deep cultural roots. Families interested in history will find the remains of pre-Columbian civilisations, a fascinating glimpse into ancient Andean cultures. This area also serves as a gateway to Bolivia, where snow-capped volcanoes, emerald-green lakes and flamingo filled lagoons create a dreamlike cross-border extension to your South American journey.
