Desert in Chile
The Atacama Desert in northern Chile is the driest desert in the world. On the edge of this lies San Pedro de Atacama. The pleasant oasis town, with its dusty streets, its typical cottages and its historic church, resembles the backdrop of a western.
San Pedro is surrounded by the most fantastic landscapes: the dazzling Salar de Atacama, a large salt lake with flamingos; the Valle de La Luna, a lunar landscape with bizarre rock formations and the surreal lakes Miscanti and Miñiques. El Tatio geyser plateau at a dizzying height of 4300 meters with some forty geysers, thermal springs and fumaroles makes an indelible impression.
