Day-by-day plans for 3, 5, and 7 days — organised to make the most of your time.
A tightly packed introduction covering the region's three signature experiences: salt lagoons, high-altitude geysers, and world-class stargazing.
Fly into Calama, transfer to San Pedro (1.5h), and rest to begin acclimatising. Late afternoon: Valle de la Luna for sunset over the dunes and salt ridges.
Morning float in Laguna Cejar, then on to the Ojos del Salar sinkholes and Laguna Chaxa's flamingo reserve. Evening: guided astronomy tour under some of the clearest skies on Earth.
Pre-dawn departure (around 4am) to reach El Tatio at 4,320m for peak geyser activity at sunrise. Return to San Pedro by late morning for a flight home via Calama.
