San Pedro de Atacama - day 1

Alarm clock in 3 in the morning?! Well there must be a good reason for that.. we are flying to Atacama desert in north of Chile. All the tourists usually stay in small town San Pedro de Atacama and explore the desert from there on day tours. Nearest airport is located in Calama approximately 1 hour away from San Pedro. There are many tours so it was quite difficult to decide which tour we would like to do. Luckily Sabine and travel agency operators gave us many tips so we made a plan today what we gonna do till Saturday evening. We are staying in lovely Airbnb in outskirts of the town. The Airbnb is not only beautiful building but has also great garden with hammocks, fireplace ect. We had very relaxing day, prepared lunch and breakfast and we’re waiting for our night Stargazing tour 💫. We got picked up at 23:30 by van and drove for maybe around 15 minutes outside of the city. First we took pictures, then we were watching sky, watching stars and Mars with telescope and at the end we sat down by bonfire, got hot chocolate and ate snacks. We returned 2:30 in the morning back happy and exhausted. In 1-2 days we should get the photos from our tour so I am really curious how they are 🤩Read more
