CHILE: The Atacama Desert

The Atacama Desert, in Northern Chile, is one of the driest non-polar deserts in the world.

Stretching along northern Chile, it lies between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains.

Parts of the desert are so barren that scientists use the area to simulate conditions on Mars.

To really explore the area we based ourselves in the little town of San Pedro de Atacama for 4 nights.
