Whether bathed in total starlight or accompanied by the glow of a full moon, the desert sky offers a uniquely beautiful and humbling spectacle. Even on moonlit nights, when fewer stars are visible, the brilliance of the moon itself becomes a powerful centerpiece of the evening.

Powerful jets of steam and water erupt into the crisp morning air, creating a surreal, dreamlike landscape of over 80 bubbling geysers and steaming fumaroles. This pre-dawn show is a quintessential Atacama experience. As you explore the geothermal field, you’ll also have the option to take a dip in a rustic thermal pool, naturally heated to around 35°C. Surrounded by volcanic terrain and soft morning light, it’s a unique and invigorating way to warm up after the chilly mountain air. On your return to San Pedro de Atacama, take in the expansive views of the Altiplano, where snow-capped peaks and golden grasses stretch as far as the eye can see.
