You’re on your way to San Pedro, a small adobe village in the Atacama Desert, but you’re not sure what to do yet. We have your back! An extensive list of the top 20 things to do in San Pedro de Atacama is provided in this article.
The vast Atacama Desert offers a wealth of things to see and do. Consider this your comprehensive, action-packed guide to navigating this extraterrestrial environment.
The Top 20 Activities In San Pedro De Atacama
Here are the top 20 things to do in San Pedro de Atacama, so let’s get started!
Valley of the Moon (Valley of the Moon), number one
Distance: 8.5 miles (14 km) from SPdA
Entry costs $2,500 (US$3) during business hours and $3,000 CLP (US$4) after that.
Tour: Valle de la Luna Sunset Tour
Valle de la Luna, often known as the Valley of the Moon, is a region that has been compared to the Moon’s surface. An amazing topography has been formed by the interaction of wind, water, and dry salt lakes; here is Mother Nature at her most creative.
This unsettlingly lunar-like image is created by rustic red and burnt orange valleys built of dried stone and sand that are complemented by a little dusting of dry white salt.
In Moon Valley, there are tunnels to explore, vistas to take in, and sand dunes to scale. The valley was designated a wildlife sanctuary in 1982 and is a part of the Reserva Nacional Los Flamencos.
For us, traveling to Moon Valley was like first seeing the Grand Canyon.
It’s one of the few occasions when you find it hard to believe what you are seeing is a part of the same universe as your familiar surroundings. The event was extraordinary, to put it mildly. Yes, we did say it.
The Valle de la Luna is the ideal area for mountain biking exploration. From San Pedro de Atacama, rent a bike and ride around the magnificent scenery.
You might not have another opportunity to work out in the Atacama till this.
Additionally, you can keep your own schedule while traveling for a lot less money. The Valley of the Moon can be orbited (by mountain bike, not space shuttle!) and is our top pick for things to do in San Pedro.
It’s okay if riding isn’t your thing. Drive there on your own, or leave San Pedro at 3 p.m. to take a sunset tour. A large checkmark appears next to an atacama sunset over Valle de la Luna on the spreadsheet of things to do.
2 – Valle de la Muerte or Marte (Valley of the Dead or Mars)
Distance: 1.4 miles (2.2 km) from SPdA
Entry fee: $3 CLP ($4)
The name Valle de la Muerte, which translates to “Death Valley,” is given to this dry, moisture-sucking area of terrain near San Pedro de Atacama. The second name for the valleys, Valle de Marte or Mars Valley, is a little less dangerous but more intriguing.
According to the regional urban legend, the name Valley of Death was chosen because a French astronomer thought the small but dramatic valley filled with red rocks and sand dunes resembled Mars.
Local Chileans misheard him to say Muerte, or Death, when he recommended “Valle de Mart.”
A footpath ascends to a breathtaking lookout point from which you can enjoy one-of-a-kind views of the far-off Cordillera, the Licancabur volcano, and the Valley of the Moon.
Tourists looking for action love to rent sand boards in town and make runs through the dunes at the tall sand dune. If this appeals to you, you can hire some sandboards at San Pedro.
One of the activities to do in San Pedro de Atacama that is nearby, simple, and affordable is this.
This is the ideal activity to fit in if you’re short on time or have a little spare time. Additionally, it’s a great location for photographers who wish to take pictures that resemble the red planet!
To escape the masses of sand boarders and tour groups later in the afternoon, arrive early in the day. Tickets can be purchased at the door. You may simply ride a bike to this location or take a 30-minute walk to get there.
Pukara de Quitor (Fort Quitor), number three
Three kilometers (1.9 miles) separate SPdA.
Entry fee: $5,000 CLP ($4,000).
Pukara de Quitor Tour
A modest walled fortress city predated San Pedro de Atacama by hundreds of years in Northern Chile. Its name? Quitor’s puka.
The city, which was founded in the 12th century, was widely renowned for producing metalwork, ceramics, and brickwork at the period.
Due to this, the city became a possible target for competing tribes that lacked the same level of technological development and wanted to raid the wealth of their neighbors.
Pukara de Quitor was transformed into a walled fortress city as a result.
Before the Spanish conquest of South America in the 1530s, the Incans governed the region. Pukara de Quitor was already fortified and ready for the Spanish Conquistadors when they arrived.
The city enjoyed a dominant physical location as it was perched atop a hill overlooking the River San Pedro. Years passed before the Spanish were able to overthrow Pukara de Quitor.
What an amazing tale!
In 1982, the crumbling ruins of the powerful castle received national monument status, and they are now open for public visits.
Why not combine this with Valle de la Luna and Valle de la Marte if money is tight. Take a day to tour the nearby sites on a rented bike.
Hot Air Balloon Over The Atacama Desert, Number Four
Do you have any experience with hot air balloons? Think about it for a second…
The sun rises behind the 5,900-meter-high Licancabur Volcano as you take off into the Andean sunrise as you soar above the Atacama Desert, and its brilliant rays start to paint the Cordillera del Sal in a painted light.
Dawn spreads across the Chilean Altiplano, revealing martian landscapes and lagoons, mountains and volcanoes all the way to the horizon, as the dry valleys lose their shadows.
Yes, we agree that it sounds really amazing!
This has to be among the best things to do in San Pedro de Atacama, if you can afford it.
If the cost had been an option, we would have included Phaway Atacama Ballooning Experience right away to our list! After that!
El Tatio Geysers, No. 5
50 miles (80 km) separate SPdA.
Entry fee: $10,000 CLP (US$ 13) for per individual, not per car.
El Tatio Geysers Tour
The El Tatio Geysers geothermal field is located near the Bolivian border at 4,320m (14,170 ft) above sea level in the formidable Andes mountain range.
The Dolina Geizerov in Russia and Yellowstone are the two other greatest geyser fields in the world, respectively.
In contrast to places like Yellowstone, El Tatio offers a unique experience because the field is open and you can go near to the vents.
But do not panic!
The geysers at the El Tatio geothermal field have a modest height.
The field and its busloads of bone-chilling residents are best viewed around morning, when the sun is slowly making its way over the Andes to the East.
It is a pretty impressive display, we must admit.
In San Pedro de Atacama, this is likely the second most popular activity (after Valle de la Luna), so plan on crowds and hectic trips even early in the morning.
Here are a few travel suggestions:
The B-245 road has some unpaved sections. The route consists primarily of dirt roads.
- The winding dirt road ascends 2,000 meters to the geyser field, and keep in mind that if you want to be there in time for sunrise, it will be completely dark.
- When there are buses or cars right up your bumper, drive gently and don’t stress; simply pull over and let them pass.
4.300 meters above sea level is significant. If you haven’t spent a few days acclimatizing at a similar height before arriving, you shouldn’t be shocked if you feel a little queasy or lightheaded. If you’re driving and this occurs, it’s not ideal. - Stay hydrated and avoid taking unwarranted risks.
- It will be really chilly. Then pack some additional warm clothing! You require them, we assure you.
6 – Rainbow Valley (Valle de Arcoiris)
Distance from SPdA: 61 kilometers (38 miles).
Entry fee: $4.50 USD or $3,500 CLP.
Tour of Yerbas Buenas and Rainbow Valley
One of the least popular and underestimated tourist destinations in the area used to be Rainbow Valley. However, tours to the area are running more regularly as its popularity grows.
Rainbow Valley ought to be a contender on your San Pedro de Atacama itinerary because it has otherworldly rock formations that are comparable to those of the other more well-known valleys but are armed with wonderfully colorful hues.
Try to identify the minerals that give the rocks their various colors by looking closely at the details of the rocks. Expect to have the valley and its walks all to yourself because it is likely to be much calmer than Valle de la Luna.
Combine this with the Yerbas Buenas petroglyphs (and perhaps even add the Rio Grande, which is only a 10-minute drive away).
Yerbas Buenas Petroglyphs, number 7.
Distance from SPdA: 60 kilometers (37 miles).
Entry fee: 3,000 CLP ($4.50 USD).
Tour of Rainbow Valley and Yerbas Buenas
Famous petroglyphs were found nearby in San Pedro at Yerbas Buenas. Two portions of red rock faces with animal designs cut into them are evidence of a long-gone civilization that lived in the harsh, arid desert of Northern Chile. Numerous creatures, including llamas, foxes, alpacas, and guanacos, are shown in the pictures.
It’s interesting to see that the drawings appear to have gotten better. Is that the result of more understanding or just a more skilled artist?
You may learn more about the Atacama people and other ancient inhabitants of the region.
The petroglyphs consistently receive rave reviews.
Because there are no amenities nearby, make sure to fill up on gas before you leave San Pedro and bring extra water in gallons. Alternately, travel there while on a tour.
8 – Tara Salar
Distance: 64 miles (103 km) from SPdA
Free admission, but a 44 vehicle is required, and there are no instructions or signs.
Salar de Tara tour
One of the top trips in the Atacama is thought to be a trip to Salar de Tara. Salar de Tara and Salar de Agues Calientes are also present in the region. The only significant tourist destination east of sand-baked San Pedro de Atacama, however, makes it nearly impossible to combine with any of the other activities on this list.
It’s a full-day trip or self-guided excursion close to Argentina and Bolivia’s borders.
Due to the vibrant and dynamic surroundings surrounding the Caldera la Pacana volcano, Salar de Tara has been compared to the Bolivia Salt Flats Tour.
The salt flat is located at a height elevation of 4,300m (14,000 feet) in the Andes mountains. The same altitude sickness guidelines therefore apply. To adjust, you need time.
If you’re going to Uyuni, it’s best to keep this for your last day because it’s higher than El Tatio but lower than the Bolivian Altiplano.
Cathedral rocks can be found at the salt flat. They are stalagmite-like formations that rise up out of the ground and are tall and slender.
You’ll encounter otherworldly sights of unusually colored sands and lakes against a background of purple-hued, nearly inconceivable volcanoes. Purple, indeed!
If you choose to drive yourself, keep in mind that the final leg of the trip will be on a dirt road and that you will require a 4 wheel drive car. Be one of the men who never gets stranded in a two-wheel drive!
Always bring extra fuel, more water than you can think, and lots of warm clothing when traveling through the Atacama.
9 – Puritama Hotsprings (Termas Banos de Puritama)
The distance is 17 miles (28 km) from SPdA.
Entry: $15,000 CLP (about $20 USD).
Puritama Hot Springs Tour
You’ll be able to breathe easier after all the early starts, late nights, and endless walks you’ve taken while exploring San Pedro de Atacama by unwinding at Puritama Hot Springs.
The two of you will be worn out. At an altitude of 3,475 meters, you have been inhaling thin air more quickly and deeply to allow oxygen to reach your circulation.
The outdoor thermal pools’ rich sodium sulfate water will reduce stress and ease sore muscles. Puritama River water averages 33 C (91 F) due to nearby volcanic activity.
There are eight naturally formed pools with each one having a set temperature. You will feel colder as you bathe further downstream.
There are private hot springs there. As a result, they make it very expensive to enter the springs.
This is to maintain the swimming pools and the supplied restroom and changing facilities. Once you leave the major B-245 route, the state of the roads is horrible. Therefore, go slowly!
Even if you don’t enter, the surrounding countryside is beautiful, so the trip up is worthwhile.
Laguna Baltinache, number 10.
From SPdA, it is 35 miles (57 kilometers) away.
Entry fee: $6.50 USD or $5,000 CLP
Tour: Baltinache’s secret lagoons
Do you perceive a mirage there? No, it’s Baltinache and Lagunas Escondidas. In the parched Atacama Desert, an oasis. The less well-known sister of the extremely popular Laguna Cejar is Laguna Baltinache.
They are two of the Lagunas in the area where swimming is permitted. So, float on in.
No plans to float in the extremely salty Dead Sea? The laguna here gives views from another planet as your backdrop, so this is the next best thing.
There are 7 pools with vivid colors that are reminiscent of those at Yellowstone. You only float because the salt concentration is so high. On the other hand, the water will seem icy cold, so don’t be shocked if you gasp when you first enter.
In the first and final of the pools, floating is permitted.
There is a shower on site for when you’re through. Just remember to bring a quality towel to wipe off all the salt. Start the exfoliation process.
Compared to Cejar, Laguna Baltinache is significantly quieter; you might even have the place to yourself.
Best practice: If you decide to visit without a tour, travel early in the day to avoid tour groups. Additionally, it costs a third less than Cejar. It is more challenging to reach, though.
Lago Cejar, number 11.
The distance from SPdA is 17.5 miles (28.5 km) by car or camper, however riding a mountain bike on backroads for 12 miles (19.5 km) on the right will be shorter.
Entry is $15,000 CLP (US$ 20) after 1pm and $10,000 CLP (US$ 13) between 9am and 1pm.
Laguna Tebinquiche and Laguna Cejar Tour
The most well-known, most accessible, and most expensive Laguna in the area is Laguna Cejar. This location is so popular because of the mountains nearby, the native vegetation on one side, and the beach on the other.
There are three lakes, but you can only swim in one of them.
You might concur with us that a $20 entrance price in the late afternoon is a bit much, depending on your spending limit and notion of value for money. You might choose Cejar if it’s more convenient for you if cost or crowds aren’t a factor.
If you’re visiting San Pedro without a car, it’s considerably simpler to reserve tours to Laguna Cejar. Numerous stops may be made before or after floating in the saline lagoon as part of frequent tours.
The fact that it is located south of San Pedro de Atacama, however, means that if you have your own vehicle, you can arrive early and continue south to many of the other locations on the itinerary.
The entrance cost includes use to the private changing rooms and showers. Keep in mind the following:
- You’ll need to man up since the water will be cooler than you anticipate in the middle of a desert!
- Remember to bring a towel and warm clothing for afterward!
- Keep in mind your seasonal bug spray; we’ve all experienced the annoyance of bug bites.
4 – If you value your feet, bring flip-flops to wander about the pools in!
Lago Tebinquiche, number 12.
26 miles (46 km) from SPdA and 9 miles (15 km) from Laguna Cejar
Entry fee: $2.50 (CLP) per CLP.
Laguna Tebinquiche and Laguna Cejar Tour
From Laguna Cejar, it takes another 20 to 30 minutes to go to Laguna Tebinquiche. This is not a laguna for swimming or floating, though. There is a chance to view wildlife in this serene and visually gorgeous laguna.
If you’re lucky, you could even catch a glimpse of a flock of fluffy pink flamingos gorging themselves on shrimp-sized sea monkeys.
The turquoise water of Laguna Tebinquiche is illuminated by the sun, and occasionally white salt crystals protrude from the water’s surface. A white, shiny, and clear shimmer effect is produced by evaporation and high salt concentration.
You will be in for a treat if the wind is quiet and the lagoon is deep enough. Licancabur Volcano will shine beautifully on still surface water, with rich hues interspersed.
However, when the water level is low, the laguna dries up and the scenery is dominated by beautiful white salt flats.
The world-famous salt flats at Uyuni, Bolivia, will be represented in miniature instead of the Licancabur reflection.
One last trick that Laguna Tebinquiche has up its sleeve is that it features one of the greatest sunsets in the Atacama.
The majority of trips will reach this location following Laguna Cejar in time to witness the searing red and orange ball of hot gas set over the rocky horizon. But that also means that people will start to gather.
Don’t overlook the two little pools nearby known as Ojos del Salar. You can certainly jump in!
Laguna Chaxa (no. 13)
From SPdA, it is 35 miles (56 km) away.
Entry fee: $2,500 CLP ($3 USD).
Laguna Chaxa tour, including the Salar de Atacama and the Altiplanic Lagoons
Without witnessing flamingos gracefully gliding just feet from Laguna Chaxa’s shimmering surface, your trip to the Atacama would be incomplete.
The Salar de Atacama’s Laguna Chaxa lake is one of the greatest spots to see the three types of flamingos that may be found nearby San Pedro:
The Chilean flamingo, first
Two: Andean flamingos
James’s Flamingo (#3)
The best times to visit to have a better chance of seeing these species are early in the morning and just before dusk. The wading birds are most active during these times.
The backdrop of the Atacama salt flat is breathtaking, and the atmosphere here only gets better when the sun sets.
To be able to teleport from one lagoon to another during a single sundown phase, teleportation technology needs to be developed as soon as possible.
Tour No. 14: Stargazing in Space
Distance from SPdA: a short distance into the night
Visit: SPACE
Sunset in the Atacama is a natural phenomenon that you have just seen. You can see the entire color spectrum intricately fading from red to purple in front of you. But it’s not quite time to go home.
What could top that sunset over a strange valley and a volcano covered in snow? once it gets dark, tilt your head up, and there you are.
You are in the Atacama Desert, considered the best location on Earth for stargazing. You must not even consider going to the Atacama without spending some time at its “star” attraction!
The Atacama is a haven for astronomers. High altitude, extremely low relative humidity, and virtually little light pollution combine to create a dark background from which countless glittering stars emerge.
Numerous stargazing excursions are offered in the area, and some opulent eco-lodges even have their own stargazing events on-site, which is fantastic.
But if things are out of your price range, we advise taking a SPACE stargazing tour.
You will arrive at a ranch where many high-quality telescopes can be seen gazing up into different sections of the crystal-clear sky after a brief minibus ride into the adjacent countryside.
Alain Maury, a pioneer who saw the possibilities for stargazing lectures in the Atacama, gives you a brief introduction to the tour after that. He is a (really humorous) Frenchman.
You may view Alpha Centauri, the solar system nearest to our Sun, constellations like the Southern Cross, and of course the Milky Way in unparalleled clarity by using strong lasers.
Now it’s time to let the incredible discoveries made by the huge telescopes blow your mind.
Avoid getting caught in a temperature trap. When night falls at 2,500 meters (8,000 feet), the desert is enveloped in a chill that sends shivers up one’s spine.
15 – Atacama Salt Flats
From SPdA, it is 35 miles (56 km) away.
Entry fee: $7 USD (about $5,500 CLP) to access the salt flats
Tour of the Salar de Atacama, as well as the Altiplanic Lagoons and Laguna Chaxa
Actually, there are other places to visit in this area. Lagunas Chaxa, Cejar, and Tebinquiche are included in the 3,000 sq km area and are a part of the vast Salar de Atacama.
However, given its importance to the area, we would advise whenever feasible going further into the salt flat.
After Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia and Salinas Grandes in Argentina, Chile’s largest salt flat is the third largest in the world. With 27% of the world’s reserves, it is also the biggest and cleanest active source of lithium on Earth.
Impressive snow-capped volcanoes, including Lascar, one of Chile’s most active volcanoes, dominate the Eastern horizon of the vast Atacama salt flat.
The Salar’s topography is harsh, which sets it apart from Uyuni’s in a pronounced way.
The landscape is harsh due to a persistent three-pronged onslaught between constant sunshine, significant evaporation, and minimal groundwater.
Information on the geology and ecology of the salt flat is available in a tourist center. Around sunset, expect large crowds to gather to admire the enormous salt basin.
Lagunas Miscanti & Miniques, number 16.
SPdA is 73 miles (117 kilometers) away.
Entry fee: $3,500 CLP ($4 USD).
Altiplanic Lagoons Tour, Also Including Salar de Atacama and Laguna Chaxa
One of the most well-liked day outings in the area is to the breathtaking Lagunas Minscanti and Miniques, which are situated in the Altiplano. They need more travel time and require a last 5 km trek through difficult terrain, but they are worthwhile.
Why?
because the views from 4,400 meters (14,400 ft) above the ground over blue lakes and a series of vibrant volcanoes are breathtaking. The lakes are hidden by the formidable Miniques Volcano and the towering Cerro Miscanti.
The two lakes were formerly one lake that was divided by a volcanic lava flow. There are surfaces that are flawlessly reflective and mirror-like when there is no breeze.
There isn’t a lot to do here besides take in the sights and take photos until your fingers ache.
Watch out for animals like vicunas, ducks, burros, flamingos, and various wild birds as you stroll between the two lakes.
The trio of Lagunas Altiplánicas Tours from San Pedro includes Laguna Chaxa, Lagunas Minscanti, and Lagunas Miniques.
17 – Visit Emporio Andino to Sample the Best Empanadas
Do you need a break from San Pedro de Atacama’s agenda and the absurd number of tour operators the city has to offer? You are heard. And here at Emporio Andino, we have the ideal spot for you to take a break.
Excellent coffee is served in interesting cups with square tops. Oh, and they also happen to create the world’s BEST empanadas. We’ve ranked it.
Send us a DM with your address if you don’t enjoy the empanadas here, and we’ll send you the money.
Every single day for lunch, we ate there. We would have had dinner here as well if it weren’t for the fact that humans need a varied diet, preferably a healthy one.
sandwiches, cheesecake, caprese, and meals with meat, potatoes, or chicken and vegetables. They also make fantastic fruit smoothies if it’s too hot for coffee. Visit TripAdvisor and peruse the glowing testimonials.
Nearly to the west of Caracoles, the major pedestrian street, is where you’ll find Emporio Andino.
Although the $2,300 CLP ($3) pricing per empanada sounds a bit excessive, keep in mind that you are in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile.
All things are pricey.
Piedras Rojas (18)
Distance from SPdA: 150 kilometers (93 miles).
Free (but closed as of February 2020)
Red Rocks tour, together with visits to the Altiplanic Lagoons, Salar de Atacama, and Laguna Chaxa
Another competitor for the title of the most well-liked day trip from San Pedro de Atacama is the Red Rocks, also known as Piedras Rojas. However, the region with the red rocks is blocked.
It seems that some visitors are too excited, and the region needs renovation.
Other vantage points offer views of the Salar de Talar and the red rocks, however Piedras Rojas is not now accessible.
Guards will stop rebels who disobey the law from reaching the rocks to take the spectacular picture that some who were fortunate enough to visit before it closed have captured.
Just a tiny portion of Piedras Rojas is visible, with the Salar de Talar serving as the background.
The views resemble those of other salt flats and feature lakes, marshes, mountains, and volcanoes that are painted in a rainbow of colors. The red rocks, however, provide something slightly different.
They are distinctive to the area, and the red, iron-rich rocks naturally contrast with the regional geological formation.
Pro tip: Laguna Tuyajto, a popular location for flamingos feeding early in the day, is another stop worth making if you don’t mind travelling another 6 miles (10 km).
Salar de Talar (19)
Distance from SPdA: 150 kilometers (93 miles).
Entry is free
Laguna Chaxa, Red Rocks, Altiplanic Lagoons, and Salar de Talar are all included in the tour.
Salar de Talar completes the extensive list of salt flat locations you should add to your list of things to do in San Pedro de Atacama. This salt flat is only 46 sq km in size but is located at a lofty elevation of 3,950m (13,000 feet). It may also be more polished.
What makes this salt flat distinctive?
views of the nearby Caichinique volcano complex and Cerro Medano.
The landscape in front of you also gives the impression of being an oil painting made by an accomplished artist.
The distinctive brown and grey hues of Cerro Medano stand out against the foreground’s other hues in a stunning way.
This is the location of Piedras Rojas, which is presently inaccessible but should be made accessible again shortly. From Salar de Talar, you can still see the rocks, so it’s absolutely worth the lengthier drive down.
20 – ALMA
33 kilometers or 20.5 miles separate SPdA.
Entry is free
ALMA information
Do you really care about astronomy? Like, astronomy that’s a lot more complicated than the stargazing tour? If the answer is yes, you must take advantage of the chance to visit the ALMA Operations Support Facility (OSF).
ALMA is a 66 radio telescope astronomical interferometer. According to Lehman, this entails that 66 different radio telescopes, collectively referred to as an array, operate as a single telescope to provide higher resolution images suitable for studying planet and star formation.
What a cool thing!
With a price tag of US$ 1.4 billion, ALMA is the most expensive ground-operated telescope ever built. The array is close to the APEX (Atacama Pathfinder Experiment) telescope on the Chajnantor Plateau at a height of 5,000 meters (16,400 feet).
And on Saturday and Sunday mornings only, they just so happen to provide FREE tours of the OSF, which is merely the operations facility and not the actual interferometer site. You must reserve in advance since they book up quickly.
So, to sum up:
1 – You get to learn about some of the world’s top deep space and galaxy beginnings stories.
- It is totally free. San Pedro is not known for its freebies!
3 – Free pickup and drop-off services are provided in San Pedro.
4 – It’s the closest thing to Star Trek you’re ever going to see in real life!
