Visiting the Atacama Desert can be like going to another planet, or back in time. It is globally recognized as the best place in the world to go stargazing – even without a telescope you can simply look up and see the curve of the earth, as well as the Milky Way. It is also the driest place in the world, and boasts some incredible geological formations, including beautiful lakes, the world’s third largest geysers, and oases that stand in stark contrast with the endless desert around them. Traces of the ancient culture of the Likan-Antay also occupy the landscape. There are three species of flamingos and other fauna found only here, as well as geysers, salt caves, volcanoes, canyons, valleys, deserted mines, ingenious agriculture, rich history and legends. In the blink of an eye, you will feel the world has transformed around you.
