4:30pm Our trip will take us to see the capricious forms
of salt and clay, as you will see in the “Three
Marias” area.There you will be visiting the geological
shapes located in one of the world's driest and most inhospitable
zones, the Atacama Desert. You will appreciate the great
molding power of the earth's natural forces, be amazed
by nature's intricate work over thousands of years, contemplate
and photograph incomparable sculptures. Enjoy an exciting
experience in the salt caves, surprising shapes in the
middle of the salt mountain range. The highlight of your
desert adventure will be watching the Atacamenian sunset,
opening you senses to the wonderful landscapes and colors
of the Andes mountains, with the Licancabur Volcano as

de Atacama
Breakfast. At 09:00am we will depart to visit the most
representative archeological places that show the development
of the Atacamenian culture. Discover the origin of this
culture, visit the archeological monument called “Aldea
de Tulor”, 2,800 years old. Relive, accompanied
by native Atacamenian guides, the beginning of sedentary
life of the first inhabitants of the Atacama Desert. We
finish our trip through history visiting the Tambo de
Catarpe, administrative center built by the Incas to collect
taxes and spread the traditions of the Empire of the Sun
in Atacama. Back to the Hotel 1:00pm.
Excursion to the Atacama Salt Lake, departure 4:00pm.
Toconao is a small picturesque village, part of the Andean
culture, where you will appreciate beautiful handicrafts
made of volcanic stone, cactus wood and llama wool. Then,
accompanied by our skilled guides, travel through the
vast Atacama Salt Lake, one of the world's largest. Discover
how life survives in the salty environment. Observe the
beautiful and surprising flamingos, one of the best-adapted
birds to the typically harsh environment and climate.
Discover the micro-organic life that thrives in salt concentrations
even higher than that found in seawater, life that allows
many insects, reptiles and birds
to subsist, which make this harsh plateau an extraordinary
habitat full of surprises.
Back to the Hotel.
Lodging in San Pedro de Atacama.
Day 03 San Pedro
de Atacama We go out to the Geysers of Tatio, leaving around 04:30AM,
after breakfast, and the greatest activity takes place between 06:30 and 09:00 a.m., when atmospheric pressure generates huge steam columns that spring from the ground, producing a contrast between the mountains and the deep blue sky. On the way back we will pass along Machuca, an Atacama village which main activities are shepherding and will show its marsh, ducks and andean sea gulls.
Accommodation at the Hotel of your choice.
