Atacama Desert Excursions

The Atacama Desert has salt lakes, geysers, oases and mineral rock formations. 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 over 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 that erupt at daybreak, miniature oases, and countless archaeological relics from the ancient graves which have been perfectly preserved by the dryness and minerals of the region. There are special plants, cacti, and, 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 dry desert land.
