Travel Chile to the Atacama desert. Trekking, guided tours or visit on your own

The Atacama desert has salt lakes, geysers, oases and mineral rock formations. Trekking, guided tours or visit on your own, with San Pedro as your base. This is a paradise for people interested in outdoor recreation, nature, ecology and adventure. The Atacama desert is said to be the driest in the world, with places where it hasn't rained for 400 years. With zero humidity and numerous natural mineral sources the desert takes on rock formations of a fantastic kind, with a background of volcanoes in the distance. There are salt lakes full of flamingoes, geysers which erupt at daybreak, oases of a miniature and perfect kind, countless archaeological relics from the ancient graves which were perfectly preserved by the dryness and minerals. There are special plants and cacti and, in parts of the desert after a rare fall of rain, flowers. Then the southern Atacama bursts into life, with stunning colors and rare exotic flowers covering hundreds of kilometers of normally desert land.
