San Pedro de Atacama

San Pedro de Atacama is a super touristy but very sweet little town in the world’s driest desert! There is an incredible amount of agencies offering tours to several lagoons or parts of the desert around town but since I stayed at a super sweet hostel with a nice owner who offers tours at a lower price and a bit less touristy, I just did some tours with him. The first night we went to see some stars which was quite an adventure with the people from the hostel. The second day we did a hike through the Valle de la Luna which was super impressive but also quite challenging since the hike included some parts of climbing as well. That night we then also went out with some people from the hostel to a bar/club and later found out about a clandestine desert party which they often have around San Pedro. So then at 4am after the party in the club ended, small buses took us to the place in the desert and it was really crazy experience. We danced to techno and reggaeton until 7am and then went for breakfast in town(: The next day I was obviously dead so I just chilled before the next day heading to my next destination, la Serena, a coast town more in the South. Oh my initial plan was to travel to Northern Argentina after San Pedro but since a bridge on the road to Salta collapsed and for one week you can’t cross the border, I changed my plans and I am now already making my way down to Santiago de Chile!もっと詳しく
