This unique environment is full of fascinating contrasts. From white salt flats to turquoise lagoons and striking volcanoes to bubbling geysers. At sunset this lunar landscape becomes a kaleidoscope of colours from gold to purples, pinks and reds before the clear night skies lend themselves to incredible stargazing. Many hotels are located near to the small desert town of San Pedro de Atacama, which is known for its slow pace of life and mudbrick homes.
