San Pedro de Atacama - Chile (South America)

San Pedro de Atacama is located 1.670 kms north from Santiago de Chile. To get there first you have to reach Calama, the nearest city, which is connected to San Pedro by an excellent highway and a surprising landscape. Due to the amazing landscape of this zone, San Pedro has turned into the start point of the touristic activity and the excursions around the region. So we can find a big variety of services for the visitors such as lodging, restaurants, tourist agencies, handcraft, telephone office, internet, post and police station.

Places to visit:
- Valley of the Moon: Located in the Cordillera de la Sal, it represents an extraordinary attraction because of its similitude to the moon landscape and its enormous natural coliseum. There is a big dune from which you can appreciate the zone.

- El Tatio Geysers: It is a geothermal field located in the Los Andes Cordillera (4.200 mt over the sea level) which at sunrise presents impressive steaming fumaroles produced by the high temperatures of their watery craters. Don't forget warm clothing, bathing suit, towel, sunblock and mineral water.

- Pukará of Quitor: Over the Quitor hill, just three km north west from San Pedro are the ruins of the Pukará (fortress) , constructed by the atacameños to be protected from other people who lived in South America.

- Death Valley: It is a mountainous and sandy valley near to San Pedro . To get there you have to go through the Cordillera de la Sal where natural sculptures can be admired.
