Starry Skies in San Pedro de Atacama ⭐️

The Atacama Desert stretches across northern Chile, from the Pacific coast to the country’s Eastern border. It is the driest non-polar desert on earth, and home to the charming town of San Pedro de Atacama. This desert town is a great base for outdoor activities such a trekking, climbing, and stargazing. It’s also a great place to stop before crossing into Bolivia for a Salt Flats Tour to Uyuni. Activity options in town: ⭐️Stargaze with a local astronomy observation group. The Atacama Desert is an international Dark Sky location. On clear, dry nights observers can see the Milky Way and gaze through telescopes at sparkling jewel-toned stars. ⭐️ Check out the snow-capped peaks of Licancabur volcano from the edge of town. ⭐️Head to Valle de la Luna (Valley of the Moon) to hike around other-worldly lunar landscapes. #southamerica #chile #stargazing #desert
