Chile Atacama Desert Trek and Stargazing

Overview

Trek through the Atacama Desert — the driest non-polar desert on Earth at 2,400 m altitude in northern Chile — through lava fields, salt flats, geysers erupting at 4,500 m at dawn, and pink flamingo lagoons. The Atacama's night sky is legendary: the combination of altitude, zero humidity, and 330 clear nights per year makes this the world's premier stargazing location. Several professional-grade telescopes at the ALMA and Paranal observatories nearby; tourist-accessible star tours from San Pedro de Atacama operate every clear night.
