The Experience
A day in Atacama is like stepping into a dream. Imagine waking up to a sunrise illuminating the enchanting landscapes. After a delicious Chilean breakfast, explore mesmerising rock formations and bubbling geysers. The day continues with an Andean fox sighting—an unexpected desert friend.
The evening brings a soak in natural hot springs, where the warm waters relax you. And just when you thought it couldn't get any better, the night sky puts on a magnificent show. You find yourself at 7,900 feet feeling as though you can touch the stars.
