- You should definitely add San Pedro de Atacama to your Chilean bucket list if it’s not included already! Watch this travel video, where I show you the beauty of San Pedro and its surroundings with mountains, volcanos, lagoons, geysers and salt flats. And you can even see flamingos and vicuñas.
DAY 0 - TRAVELLING TO CHILE
Flying from Sao Paulo, Brazil to Santiago and then to Calama airport, which is the closest airport to San Pedro de Atacama.
We spent one night in Calama, though if I'd plan this trip again, I'd go straight to San Pedro!
DAY 1 - TRAVELLING TO SAN PEDRO DE ATACAMA + VALLE DE LA LUNA
Travelling by bus from Calama to San Pedro de Atacama (1,5-2 hours by bus).
Checking into our hostel, Hostal Nuevo Amanecer.
Discovering Caracoles street, the centre of San Pedro and its tourist agencies.
Booking a tour to Valle de La Luna (Moon Valley)
Tour agency: Tani Tani Traveller agency tanitanitraveller.cl/
Price: 12.000 CLP/person
Additional entrance fee: 3.000 CLP/person
Duration: from 4 pm to 8 pm
The tour had 3 main stops in the valley: the salt sculptures of Tres Marias and 2 viewpoints with panorama to fascinating mountains and valleys. We finished the tour by watching the sunset from the Coyote viewpoint.
DAY 2 - LAGUNA CEJAR, OJOS DEL SALAR AND LAGUNA TEBINQUICHE TOUR

The 1st stop was Laguna Cejar, where 3 lagoons are situated: Laguna Cejar, Piedra and Baltinache. Piedra Lagoon has high salt concentration and that's the only one where you can bath and float on the surface.
Ojos del Salar (Salt Flat Eyes) are two blue lagoons located close to each other.
The highlight of the tour was Laguna Tebinquiche. The few centimetres shallow lagoon is partly covered with salt and we could also see some flamingos in the middle of it.
Finally, the bus stopped in the desert and we had some snacks and drinks. And most importantly, we watched the sunset.
DAY 3 - PIEDRAS ROJAS, LAGUNAS ALTIPLANICAS & SALAR TOUR

Laguna Tuyajto was the farthest point we travelled, that lagoon was super beautiful with its bright blue colour and the snow-peaked mountains in the background.
We turned back and stopped at the viewpoint of Mirador de Salar de Aguas Calientes overlooking Aguas Calientes Salt Flats and mountains.
Miscanti and Miñiques Lagoons (Altiplanic Lagoons) are 2 hidden blue lagoons located between mountains and volcanoes.
Lunch in Socaire.

Thanks for watching!
Beautiful place to be .I m from Hawaiian Islands, now visiting in Chile 🇨🇱
Awww have fun in Chile :)
This Laguna Pietra I'd expect would be very cold, briny water. I been to San Pedro. I been to Salt lake near Ogden Utah in September intended to bath, but too cold for me & was dirty. Been to Dead Sea in May twice more than 25 years apart & that was warm, beautiful, crystal clear & turquoise colour - Magical!!!
I'd love to see and float in Dead Sea!
Amazing wooow
Thank you :) The Chilean landscape is fascinating!
I am going in two years. I want to view the night sky from there. Was there a lot of clouds each night?
I'm sure it will be a great experience! (We watched the milky way above Uyuni Salt Flats and it was breathtaking.) Honestly, I don't remember the cloud, but if you spend there more days, you'll have a better chance and maybe dry season would be better, but I'd do more research...
This is also a great place. Your are trying best to exploring the different countries
Thanks a lot 😊 I love discovering new places and countries!
Did you visit during winter or summer?
It was end of February (2020), the rainy season in South America
Hola ! Cuál mes es el
Mejor para visitar Atacama?!
Hola! We were in San Pedro during February and the weather was ideal. The Atacama is one of the driest places on earth. Don’t await for rain, though expect cold mornings and nights and sunny days with partly strong wind.

Summer be good if you want to bath. It's always dry, clear sky & summer a bit warmer but NEVER hot. I spent my 33rd birthday there on 28.5.1982 (now 73 & been to 64 countries)
