Itinerary


Day 1: Arrive Atacama

You’ll be met at Calama Airport and transferred to your lodge. Later, select and plan your chosen activities with our team. A sample of these are detailed below, for a taste of what lies in store.

Day 2: Atacama

Today, perhaps choose to visit Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley), with many vantage points looking out to the unique peaks, canyons and rock formations of this stunning landscape. An excursion to Salar de Atacama takes you through a secluded village and desert oasis before reaching Los Flamencos National Reserve at Laguna Chaxa, which is home to flamingo species, Andean gulls and more.

Day 3: Atacama

Early risers may choose to head to El Tatio Geysers, to see the sunrise at this geothermal site, with more than 80 active geysers. This is a great spot for photography, as the vapour columns are lit by the rising sun. This evening, perhaps cast your eyes to the sky for some stargazing made easy by the lack of artificial light. You’ll be amazed by the constellations you can see in this remarkable part of the world.

Day 4: Depart Atacama

This morning, we’ll transfer you back to Calama Airport for your onward flight.
