Driest desert on earth meets the world's most dramatic mountain wilderness
Chile is a geographic extremity — a long, narrow nation containing the world's driest desert in the north and the most dramatic wilderness on earth in the south. The Atacama offers extraordinary astrotourism, volcanic geysers, and pink flamingo lagoons, while Patagonia's Torres del Paine ranks among the world's most spectacular landscapes.
The Atacama Desert has less than 1mm of rain per year and is at high altitude — providing the clearest night sky on Earth. Major observatories choose it for a reason.
Torres del Paine is regularly voted one of the world's top 10 most spectacular landscapes — granite towers 2,800m above sea level, hanging glaciers, and infinite wilderness.
Chile's geography is extraordinary — the world's driest desert, highest active volcanoes, deepest fjords, and most remote national park all in one slender country.
