Fly north from Santiago to Atacama, the driest desert in the world. This is an extraordinary place, full of unique and mesmerizing scenery. Volcanoes, immense salt flats, lagoons of otherworldly colors, flamingos, unusual wildlife, hot springs, and geysers. Truly a unique destination, with unmatched scenery, and off the typical tourist track. Stay in a lovely small hotel with a unique design that blends naturally into the surrounding landscape.
Situated in Chile’s breathtaking Atacama Desert, Tierra Atacama is on the outskirts of the village of San Pedro. The 32-room hotel offers great guided excursions, excellent gourmet dining, and a pool and spa. Built on the site of the old cattle corral, its architectural style skillfully blends traditional and modern techniques. A top option in San Pedro de Atacama.

Loved the Atacama Desert.

The trip to the Atacama Desert, Patagonia and the national park Torres del Paine was one of our most enjoyable and memorable experience.

And the wildlife... flamingos, andean geese, ducks, and coots, vicuñas, guanacos, owls, migratory birds like plovers and sandpipers... Great.
