Atacama Desert

🌵 In the Desert of Atacama (A Psalm from the Dry Places) Lord, this land is silent. No rivers run. No trees reach. The ground is cracked, and the wind carries dust instead of song. And yet — You are here. Even where rain forgets to fall, Your presence remembers. Even when the earth is empty, Your Spirit fills. In this driest desert, the soul feels its thirst. And in that thirst, we remember You. Not the rain we want, but the Living Water we need. For what is Atacama, if not a mirror of the heart without You? Dry. Silent. Still hoping. But You — You bring streams in the wasteland. You make flowers bloom in scorched places. (Isaiah 35:1, Isaiah 43:19) You are not afraid of our dryness. You meet us there. You speak in silence. You turn dust into praise. So let this desert teach us: It is better to be dry with God than lush without Him. To You, O Lord, be the glory — in green pastures, and in burning sand. In overflow, and in aching thirst. For You alone are our rain. You alone are our rest.

Just back and we had a ball , a unique experience for Irish people and they love Ireland . Try it, do south America so much to be appreciated 👏

Stunning and immense landscape. It includes the amazing Valley of the Moon within its confines. The Atacama Desert is the driest nonpolar desert in the world, and the second driest overall, behind some specific spots within the McMurdo Dry Valleys. It is the only hot true desert to receive less precipitation than polar deserts, and the largest fog desert in the world.

The most amazing landscape I ever seen. If your country is green like mine, this will be definetly an unforgettable experience. Very dry air can cause some small problems but nothing serious.

Nothing less than spectacular!! This was not on my bucket list but it really should have been. Stayed for three days which was about the right amount of time. The local guides were incredible and the food at the hotel fabulous

Vast desert with great variety of terrain, nice landscapes, one can find small villages at up to 4,000 meters above sea level where timeless traditions linger in extreme and wonderfully photogenic settings. It is worth to stay in San Pedro de Atacama for few days in northern part of Atacama Desert and explore the area.

About a week is a good time to spend here. Daily trips vary a great deal in expertise and price. Choose carefully. The skies are great for star gazing. be sure to do a trip doing this.

Atacama Dessert has a lot to offer! Landscapes that really blow your mind away! There's also a lot of animal life. From volcanoes to salars you'll see it all.
