Atacama Salt Lake is an inland sea which was formed millions of years ago.

Puerto Varas, also known as the "City of Roses" is worth a visit.

San Pedro is an unusually colorful village which is located in the middle of a green oasis. It is a very small, picturesque town.

El Tatio Geysers is a geothermal field. A powerful burst of steam shoots out at dawn from various blowholes and condensate in the cold air.

Visit Valle de la Luna to observe beauty of the scenery which gets intensified during sunset. In the afternoon you can enjoy the silent moonscape of Valle de la Luna with a backdrop of snow covered volcanoes.

Plan a visit to San Pedro de which has impressive rock fortresses on the mountains. The colonial church is the largest and most beautiful church in this region.
