This morning you take a flight from Santiago to Calama in Northern Chile where you will transfer to San Pedro de Atacama, an oasis town in the Atacama Desert. On route, you are presented with the stunning scenery of the Salt Mountain Range and the Licancabur Volcano in the background. In the afternoon, visit the Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley) so called because of its similarity to the moon's surface, and the Valley de la Muerte (Death Valley), another astonishing natural formation carved out by wind, rain, and the temperature changes of the desert. End the day with a spectacular sunset.

Travel to the awe-inspiring natural wonder of the Atacama Salt Flats, making a stop at Toconao, a colonial town built entirely from a volcanic rock called Liparita along the way. The Salt Flats are located in Los Flamencos National Reserve, and home to three types of flamingos among other migratory birds. A visit to Chaxa lagoon to see these magnificent birds in their natural habitat makes for incredible photography with breath-taking backdrops.

After a very early start, travel to the dramatic Tatio Geysers. They are found at an altitude of 4300 metres (14,190 ft). There are more than 80 vents, that rise into pillars of steam that rise up to heights of 12 metres (40 ff), and dance in the golden rays of the early morning. Surrounded by snow-capped volcanoes and this remarkable geothermal show, breakfast is served whilst you watch. On the way back to the village, there is a brief stop in the hamlet of Machuca, and there is the opportunity to spot families of viscachas and if you are lucky, foxes and Andean ostrich.
