Amazing El Tatio Geyers & Wetland Volcanic Drive

In the last part of our 3 episode Atacama Travel Guide, we visit Geyser del tatio, Atacama. The El Tatio Geyers at 4300 m. The dawn drive out of San Pedro de Atacama is one not to be missed. Dark, bumpy, dusty and at -6c we braved the conditions to reach the geyers before sun up when the steam and bubbling is at its best. Whilst this was an amazing experience little did we know that on the way back we would have the most wonderful, incredible 2 hour drive back though some of the most beautiful landscapes we have ever seen. The frozen wetlands were just stunning and feature in your thumbnail. Also in this episode we venture up into the moon like region at Death Valley or Mars Valley as it's also known. The 45 minute hike up the mountain to the top was tough but at the top the views were out of this world. For a final treat we got lost in the labyrinth of cave and trails at the Devils Throat, where nothing moves and not a sound can be heard! Just incredible. We hope you enjoy this last installment, if you missed the other two episodes links are here.

The AMAZING VALLE DE LA LUNA & LAGUNA CEJAR (Part1) San Pedro de Atacama Desert Self Driving Tour

This 3 part series is touring the Atacama Desert in Chile, starting by visiting the amazing VALLE DE LA LUNA, LAGUNA CEJAR & San Pedro de Atacama. Our Self Drive Atacama Desert Tour will give you all the tips, ideas and advice for a safe and memorable self drive stay in a place that is just out of this world! Planning a trip outside your comfort zone is not always easy. Let us show you how accessible the Atacama Desert can be, and that doing a self driving tour can not only give you the freedom to see what you want but is actually more cost effective that booking all the tours available from San Pedro de Atacama the tourist hub of the desert.

In this first episode, we make our way to the Desert from Calama after hiring a car using www.econrent.cl and picking up some supplies at the local supermarket.

Our accomodation in San Pedro de Atacama was the Planeta Atacama Lodge https://goo.gl/maps/Hp7ZVKTmYu6pYNJo7

San Pedro de Atacama is about 100km and a 1hour 30 minute tarmac drive from Calama. The town has plenty of hotels, hostels and B&B's to suit all budgets. If you do have a car consider that the town does not have great parking facilities so pick a hotel that has a secure carpark if you can. Food and Drink in San Pedro can be more expensive that in other Chile towns and this is understandable considering everything has to be shipped in. There are still reasonable places to eat but not all are allowed to serve alcohol so check if that is important for for you. The Valle de la Luna "Moon Valley" is an incredible first day experience and one not to be missed. Close to San Pedro the off road parts of the reserve are easy to navigate and help you get started with the driving in this area. Remember to always carry water with you as you walk around, it's amazing how quickly you can become thirsty.
