    ABOUT THE TRIP

    Looking for a Chilean adventure? From the coast to the high Andes and to one of the driest deserts in the world, the Atacama, this tour has it all! This is the shorter version of our Coast to Desert Tour, which is for 10 days and 9 nights. Here you will experience the cultural diversity of Santiago, the amazing mariscos (seafood) and wineries found on the coast, and one of the highest & driest deserts in the world, the Atacama Desert! This trip is packed with tours and active excursions, so you can take in as much of the culture and breathtaking sights as possible during your Chilean adventure.

    The Atacama Desert borders the high Andean peaks of Bolivia and Chile. This is a very pristine area with high mountain lakes, hot springs, and active volcanoes, which are ideal for day hikes and extensive climbing trips. Near the village of San Pedro de Atacama where you will be based, there are unlimited opportunities for single track mountain biking, canyoneering, spelunking, para-gliding, sand boarding, and much more.

    The desert abounds with petroglyphs, pictographs, and indigenous cultures. Did we mention all the wonderful food and variety of Pisco Sours you can have during your stay in San Pedro?!? Whether you are hiking through the Atacama Desert or touring Valparaiso and Vina del Mar, you are sure to love every second of our Chilean tours and excursions.
