DESTINATIONS > Latin America >Â Chile > Atacama Desert
The Atacama Desert is the driest non-polar desert on earth. Despite the lack of rain, you will discover a surprising array of wildlife thriving against all the odds. Flamingo-filled sulphurous lakes mirror the peaks of perfectly formed volcanoes, and algae of extraordinary hues line the geyser fields that shoot jets of water thousands of feet in the air from the boiling core of the earth. When the sun disappears, the star-lit sky is utterly mesmerising. With little light pollution to contend with, the Atacama is one of the best places on earth for gazing into the night sky. Discover the stars alongside an astronomer or from the comfort and silence of your private terrace.

As always True travel are friendly, efficient and helpful from start to finish. Our holiday to the Maldives was cancelled in February, March, July and we finally got there for New Years. The countless chopping and changing, no fee cancellation, and understanding was hugely appreciated, and made booking a holiday during Covid possible. Thank you!
These example itineraries are here to get you inspired, but no two True Travel holidays are the same. Our Chile experts start planning each trip with a blank piece of paper, designing every itinerary 100% personalised to you.
