Atacama has been labelled “the Archaeological Capital of Chile”. You can see the traditions that are still kept by the local descendents of the Incas, Aymaras and Atacamenan people. Atacama has beautiful landscapes, adventurous excursions and all surrounded by the majestic Cordilera de Los Andes (Andes Mountains). This is a place like no other with its uncountable sceneries like the Valle de la Luna, the Salar de Atacama and the Termas de Puritama to name a few.

See:

• San Pedro de Atacama - is a place to try something new, where you can immerse yourself on nature such as volcanoes ascending, bike rides and trekking and much more that will make this visit unforgettable. 
• Atacama Desert - is famed for its austerity and beauty and you’ll feel inspired by the solace and grace of the area. This desert is Chile’s largest and lies in the tropic of Capricorn; it encompasses a range of extreme altitudes that enrich the complexity of its ecosystems. The Atacama is considered the most arid desert on the planet.
• The Museo Arqueological - is a significant archaeological museum with a large collection of mummies and other relics. Native ruins nearby are also popular for learning about pre-Colombian cultures. You can also participate in sand boarding and stargazing, with the views of the stars from the Atacama unrivalled across the continent.

Experience:

• A walk around the town starting from the Plaza, you will find the Gustavo Le Paige Museum, then another short walk you will come to the commercial street of San Pedro which is the meeting point between tourists and villagers.
• Stargazing is one of the many things you can do in Atacama but it’s certainly the right zone to watch the sky and its stars. You can take a guided tour that starts with geographic explanation of the sky and its constellations and then observe some really amazing objects such as Moon Craters, Saturn Rings, Cumulus of stars, galaxies and other wonders of the universe.
• Valley of the Moon is extraordinary because of its similitude to the moon landscape and its enormous natural coliseum. There is a big dune from which you can appreciate the zone.

Secrets of the City:

• Laguna Cejar (lagoon) has beautiful crystallized salt and turquoise water, where you can see flamingos and taguas. These salty waters create an effect which makes it very easy to float without effort.
• The Atacama Desert, a fast expanse of salt flats, gravel plains, eroded valleys, turquoise lakes, powerful geysers and thermal springs.
