Atacama Desert

Atacama Desert

7.7
4.9/5
7 reviews

The Atacama Desert stretches between the Pacific coast of northern Chile and the Andes, and is one of the most arid non-polar deserts on Earth. Some areas have seen almost no significant precipitation for years, and the dryness has instead left behind desert scenery rarely seen elsewhere. Its natural landscape is highly diverse. The Valley of the Moon is famous for its unique rock formations, salt-crusted surfaces, and lunar-like terrain; the Atacama Salt Flat features salt crusts, lagoons, and diverse wildlife; and high-altitude areas offer sights of volcanoes, geysers, and colorful highland lakes. Parts of this region have dry air, minimal cloud cover, and clear night skies, making it a globally important area for astronomical observation, with several large-scale astronomical facilities built here.

Magic place. Lot's of places to visit, tours are very safe and the guides are great fun. Stay and eat at San Pedro, nice, little town in the middle of the desert.

Unique buildings that you must visit in your lifetime. The Five Finger Mountain in Chile stands in the Atacama Desert in Chile. It is 11 meters high and was created by a Chilean sculptor in the 1980s. It wants to express the human rights issues of the Chilean people, which makes people feel awe. During the day, you can see the clear lines of the five fingers, and at night, it is the most famous starry sky here. The stars are dazzling, and the sky is full of stars as if traveling to outer space. The Milky Way is within reach! Are you moved? ️The Atacama Desert in Chile is one of the driest deserts in the world! From 1570 to 1971, it did not rain for four hundred years in a row. Address: Antofagasta, Antofagasta, Antofagasta Region in northern Chile For more fun in Chile, please consult me
