The other worldly beauty of the Atacama Desert is like no other place on earth. This sense that you are on another planet is accentuated by Atacama’s 7,000 ft (2100 m) elevation, offering some of the clearest skies in the world, and giving you the feeling you can literally touch the star-�illed skies that hover over you at night.

Your stay can range anywhere from 3 to 5 nights, and each day you have a choice of two half-day or one full-day activity. The choice of activities varies by the property you choose to stay at, however these activities are entirely �lexible and can accommodate to your physical abilities and travel style.

Amazing opportunities await each day for outings to bubbling geysers, hot springs, crystal-clear blue lagoons, and movie set-like mountains and valleys. For those in search of awe-inspiring landscapes and views, the Atacama desert is one of the world’s top destinations.

The oasis, the highlands, and the desert of Atacama surprise us with landscapes that seem to have come from another world, thereby offering endless opportunities for wonderful exploration. You can ride horses through the red land plains and huge sand dunes of the desert, visit turquoise lagoons located over 4,000 meters (13,123 ft) above sea level, walk through boiling geysers, or follow green riverbeds in one of the driest deserts in the world. There are 40 different activities available to guests each day, to explore the desert either on foot, by horse or on a bike. Enjoy nightly astronomical sessions in an area of the world that offers the clearest skies. Daily activities are available for guests of all ages and of all physical conditions. You can explore the Atacama at your own pace and focusing on your own speci�ic interests.
