Atacama
desert of Chile:
Salt
lakes, geysers, oases and mineral rock formations of this amazing
desert. 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.
