From the vibrant blooms of Copiaco Atacama Desert to the serene Laguna Sejar and Salar de Atacama, every corner of this arid expanse holds breathtaking surprises. For adventure enthusiasts, mountain biking against the backdrop of this otherworldly terrain is an experience like no other. As you pedal through the vastness of the Atacama Desert, immerse yourself in its raw magnificence. Witnessing a sunrise on the road to Paso Sico will leave you awestruck as hues of gold paint the sky above this barren land. The young Lamas grazing peacefully amidst pastures add a touch of tranquility to this rugged environment. Valle de la Luna or Valley of the Moon showcases nature's artistry at its finest. With its lunar-like landscape and surreal formations, it feels as if you've stepped onto another planet altogether. Don't miss out on spotting Sicarius spiders here; these venomous creatures are among some of their best-known inhabitants. Exploring Officina Pedro de Valdivia takes you back in time to when saltpeter mining thrived in this ghost town. Old shoes scattered around serve as reminders of bygone eras and stories untold. Even water finds solace amidst such dryness - witness ponds dotting this parched land with surprising gracefulness. Parinacota Volcano towering over Chungara Lake within Lauca National Park offers a striking contrast between fiery peaks and tranquil waters. The Altiplanic Lagoons - Miscante and Miniques - are jewels nestled within high-altitude plains (Lagunas Altiplanicas). Their crystal-clear waters reflect surrounding volcanoes, creating postcard-perfect vistas that will forever be etched into your memory. As night falls, the Atacama Desert transforms yet again.
