ATACAMA SALTThe Atacama Salt is a bright white gap of 3 thousand square meters, located 56 kms southeast of San Pedro de Atacama in Chile, is a must for an excursion to this place. Due to the altitude (2,600 meters above sea level), combined with the arid landscape of salt make a really fascinating, as it has crystal clear waters with white background becomes a bright mirror toward the sun. In the Atacama Salt is possible to find some gaps that have been caused by erosion, as well as the Natural Reserve "Los Flamencos", which derives its name thanks to the amount of Chilean flamingo prevailing in the area. |
GEISERS OF TATIOAlso located on the outskirts of San Pedro de Atacama at an altitude of 4,000 meters above sea level, over the years has formed in one of the most fascinating places to see in Chile. The Geysers of Tatio, a geothermal field are caused by proximity to the volcano which derives its name: The Geysers. Under it, an underground river moves which helps produce the phenomenon of boiling and steam jets which tend to rise above 10 meters. Best time to visit is at 6:00 A.M and tours provide transfers from accommodation to place park, with hot breakfast included. |
MOON VALLEYMust see as few. The Moon Valley is a natural paradise in the world's driest desert in the mountains of salt and only 15 kms from San Pedro de Atacama, lies the valley of the moon, today at Sanctuary and Natural Monument of Chile. It is named after physiological resemblance to our natural satellite, has an area of 12 square kms and the sunsets are truly wonderful spectacle of color and because the sky is turning from pink to purple to be a black all. When the moon is full, it's brilliant place to cause a surface brightness caused by the existing salinity in the area. It is good practice during his visit to Moon Valley and liquid lip protection, due to the dry atmosphere. |
NATIVE VILLAGES TOURIt's a nice issue that can be felt at the time of transit through cobbled streets, adobe houses and the feel of a prehispanic culture that once dominated this land. Indigenous peoples such as the Village of Tulor, Toconao, Quitor and Catarpe Pukaras or the same San Pedro de Atacama, considered the archeological capital of Chile, transports us back in time to a historical legacy of the people Atacama, which according to historians date of 10 thousand years ago. Currently, these communities have gradually integrated to the rapid pace of tourism and concentrate a large part of their tour. |
