Chile's Atacama Desert: Explore San Pedro de Atacama
Few places are as inhospitable or extreme as Chile’s Atacama Desert.
As the driest non-polar region in the world, less than 4mm of rain falls here each year.
Over 100,000km2 of torrid and barren land, which ripples and swells in places like a geographical accordion.
This is Mother Nature at her harshest.
But, even here, in the depths of the Atacama where life seems unwelcome, culture has thrived for thousands of years.
Once conquered by the Incan Empire, the Atacama Desert is revered by many as the spiritual heart of the country.
In remote regions of this arid expanse, indigenous communities still host ritualistic ceremonies of gratitude to Pachamama – the Earth Goddess.
Will she permit life to inhabit the Atacama Desert for centuries to come? Forging a legacy against the odds?
In towns like San Pedro de Atacama, which could be mistaken for a mirage, travelers gather to explore the region’s natural beauty and to indulge in local culture.
Here, white-washed buildings line cobbled streets, offering a welcomed refuge from the hot, dusty desert beyond. Welcoming locals are more than happy to share their oasis with inquisitive visitors.
Traditional melodies emanate from the town’s open windows, as artisan craftspeople ply their historic trades.
The town’s streets are abuzz with the exchange of the Atacama Desert’s stories – stories of mystery and of myth.
What do you hear from her enchanting call?

OMG Trip 42: Chile - Atacama desert, San Pedro de Atacama
Turismo caur web page
Jeden deň sme len tak ležali v posteli a z ničoho nič nás napadla myšlienka dlhodobejšieho cestovania. Začali sme pomaly s plánovaním, ale takým reálnym sa to stalo, až keď sme v decembri 2017 kúpili prvú letenku do Iránu a oznámili to rodine. Našu cestu okolo sveta sme nazvali ako OMG trip, pretože na začiatku to naozaj bolo stále také neuveriteľné: óóóó môj Bože, my naozaj ideme. A sme tu, Filip a Zuzka, ktorí sa vzdali všetkého na Slovensku, práce, bytu a vybrali sa do sveta. Cestovali sme aj predtým s našimi kamošmi, ale vždy to bolo iba na 3 - 4 týždne. Tentokrát sme sa vybrali s dvomi 65l a dvomi 30l ruksakmi do sveta na dlhšie, zatiaľ bez dátumu návratu.

One day we were just lying down in the bed and suddenly idea of long-term travel came out with. We started slowly to plan, but it became real after buying the first ticket to Iran in December 2017 and announcing it to our family. We called our around the world trip as OMG trip because at the begining it was still incredible: oh my God, we are really going. And here we are, Filip and Zuzka, who gave up of everything in Slovakia, work, flat and chose the world. We had already traveled with our friends, but it was only for 3-4 weeks. This time we hit the road with two 65l and two 30l backpacks for longer time, still without return date.

WHO ARE KARA AND NATE?!
New here? We are full-time travel vloggers with a goal of visiting 100 countries before 2019. We make daily travel videos. In these videos you can expect to see the best foods and adventures of every country we visit. ;)
Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel vloggers on YouTube, such as: +CaseyNeistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown , and any other talented travel vloggers that YouTube’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)

Floating in the Salty Lagoons in the Atacama Desert | San Pedro de Atacama, Chile
Today we decided to take a tour around the different lagoons of the Atacama Desert. We went to our first salt water lagoon in the complex of Laguna Cejar. This lagoon was crazy - it burnt your eyes and you couldn’t sink! After we left we headed to Ojos del Salar, where we jumped off the cliffs into the lagoon and it was freezing. Our planned sunset drinks at our last lagoon was… well rained out as there was a massive storm! When we headed back to town all the power was out!

El Tatio Geysers of San Pedro de Atacama, Chile
Sometimes in order to experience something at the ideal time it involves waking up before the crack of dawn. With this in mind we booked at tour to El Tatio geysers just outside of San Pedro de Atacama, Chile. By the time our bus arrived, after several hours of driving off-road, we were treated to sunset, frigid temperatures and incredible geysers. After it warmed up a little bit we went swimming in the geysers and ate a delicious breakfast that included dulce de leche and chocolate pancakes, along with bread, cheese, ham, fruit, juice and coffee. As our tour continued we visited Machuca village where we viewed old churches and had an opportunity to sample alpaca meat skewers. Other stop included viewing areas for volcanoes, flamingos, lagoons and spotting other wildlife. Overall, it was a fantastic full-day tour and one we'd highly recommend to those visiting Northern Chile - especially if you're based in San Pedro de Atacama.
El Tatio Geysers of San Pedro de Atacama, Chile Travel Video Transcript:
Well, somebody looks all bundled up this morning. I know. Good morning from the chilly Atacama desert. Yesterday, we arrived in San Pedro de Atacama and we booked a tour to visit El Tatio geysers and we had to be up at four in the morning. It was a really early start and now it is probably around seven but it is still freezing but I'm told we're going to get chocolate pancakes plus we're going to see some pretty cool geysers so it should be a really fun outing. I think you're holding out for the pancakes. Pancakes.
So apparently this it he highest geyser field in the whole world. And according to my Lonely Planet there should be around 64 geysers although our guide did mention there is closer to 80. So who knows maybe there are new ones sprouting up.
So now we have twenty minutes stop in a village called Machuca. And there is a new part and an old part to the village. The older construction is over a thousand years old so we are going to go find some of those ruins. There is some churches out here as well. But apparently the civilization has been here for over eight thousand years so that is a long time. That's impressive.
Oh look at you. Look at you so sweet. So sweet. Look at those little eyes. Oh.
You're a flamingo today aren't you? I'm waddling like one too. Actually flamingos don't waddle. But the cherry on top of the cake here for this tour was getting to see flamingos. I was think you know what maybe we're not going to get to see them but right at the last stop yes we get to.
And we're now at our final stop of the tour. We're checking out this really cool gorge that is really green and yeah it has been an awesome tour. We saw some amazing landscapes, lots of wildlife. We ate some tasty pancakes. So yeah, if you're ever traveling around Atacama this is a really fun tour to take.
This is part of our Travel in Chile series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Chilean culture, Chilean arts, Chilean foods, Chilean religion, Chilean cuisine and Chilean people.

The Truth about the Puritama Tour | San Pedro de Atacama, Chile
This is considered one of the best destinations to visit in Chile. I can understand why after seeing some of the spectacular views. This was an interesting place to visit, but I have to say, it was a lot more expensive than I was expecting. This area is one of the most expensive regions in Chile and this country is already considered expensive compared to the rest of Latin America. I have to add, Bolivia is one of the cheapest countries in LA, so this exacerbates the extreme shift in cost of living. However, money aside, there are some family friendly tours.
We only stayed in this region to do tours and el Puritama was the first one. This is a fun way to pass your time and Lidia quite enjoyed it. I don't recommend this tour in the colder months, because it would be uncomfortably cold getting in and out of the water. The summer months, however, will make for a refreshing experience.
Join us next week to watch the second tour we took to visit the Laguna Cejar, which includes a number of other stops. See you soon.
Un besito,
The backpacker and her Lidia.

San Pedro de Atacama Travel Guide - Chile beautiful Experience
San Pedro de Atacama Travel Guide - Chile beautiful Experience
San Pedro de Atacama is a town in Northern Chile. It's a very popular destination among Chilean tourists and international visitors alike. Visitors come in large numbers, to use the town as a stepping stone to the amazing landscapes around it. Most attractions are part of the Los Flamencos National Reserve, perhaps Chile's most varied and amazing national park. Prices in any of the laid back bars and restaurants fare well against Santiago's (Chile's Capital). Still, it's a fairly expensive location, as it's one of Chile's three most popular destinations, along Torres del Paine and Easter Island. Of note, many roads are unpaved, buildings are single story and the town feels a bit like in a Western movie. It is not a resort.
Once in the town, nearly all points of interest, restaurants, services, are within walking distance, with the exception of a few outlying hotels. Downtown comprises twelve small blocks, between the streets Domingo Atienza and Toconao from west to east, and Licancabur and Caracoles north to south. This last street is the main one, a pedestrian zone.
Geysers del Tatio, located at 4,200m above sea level, and 100km away from town, these are some of the highest geysers in the world. It's also the third-largest geyser site on Earth, with over 80 active ones. Most agencies travel there at 4 AM so as to arrive at sunrise. Valle de la Luna, there is a beautiful mirador (viewpoint) off the paved road to Calama that can be reached by car or bike. This is around km 83. You'll see a small hut off the road. Head towards the rocks that were put there to simulate chairs and tables. There is a bit a climbing with the bike from San Pedro. If the road incline is down for a significant duration then you have passed the viewpoint. This viewpoint is quite a bit after from the turnoff to Valle de la Luna.
Lagunas Altiplanicas, usually advertised as 'Altiplanic Lagoons', the tour varies very little, if at all, between agencies. You'll be visiting the village of Toconao, renowned for its church and bell-tower; Laguna Chaxa, a national reservation which three species of flamingos inhabit year-round.
