San Pedro de Atacama

We take an early morning flight to Calama and transfer through the driest desert in the world to San Pedro de Atacama where we transfer to your chosen hotel for a 3 night stay. Afternoon at leisure. We take a stroll in the village and witness the sunset at Pucará de Quitor, the ruins of a 700-year-old Indian fortress, with the Andes mountains stretching north and south as far as the eye can see.  

The high altitude and dry climate has made the Atacama Desert one of the world's top regions for astronomy. Experiencing Atacama at night is as memorable as exploring the desert landscape by day. Your guide can advise on the best ways to observe the stars and planets after dark.

If you have a special interest in Astronomy, our expert UK staff can advise on the best hotels and time of year to travel to the Atacama Desert.
