About

Atacama Desert

West of the Andes, the Atacama Desert covers about a 600-mile strip of land. It is considered one of the driest (if not the driest) deserts in the world. Day temperatures can get as high as 105 degrees. Because of its location along with several other factors, this is one of the few places that has 300 plus days of perfectly clear skies, making it a location frequented by astronomers. Given the extreme beauty of the sand and rock formations throughout and around Atacama, tourism in the area has dramatically increased over the years. It also incidentally was the site where one of the world’s oldest mummies was uncovered, predating Egyptian mummies by thousands of years.

What an amazing tour. We saw whales, dolphins and porpoises. The crew was very friendly and enthusiastic. We could really tell they are very respectful towards the animals, we were able to see two humpbacks for nearly half an hour, everybody was silent, the engine was off and the crew was also in awe. Only when the whales left, the engine was back on and we also started moving again. We really felt like we had all the time in the world and we didn't disturb the animals.
