What to do and see in San Pedro de Atacama, Antofagasta Region: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

September 14, 2021 Nobuko Falco

Looking for an unusual and beautiful landscape? Sandstone canyons, flamingo-dotted salt flats, steaming geysers, hot springs, volcanic peaks and alien-looking rock formations are on offer all around San Pedro de Atacama. Hiking, biking and horseback riding are the preferred means of exploration. Death Valley here is surprisingly great for picnics.

Mirador de Kari, Piedra del Coyote

Reviewed By 716sachink - Plainview, United States

This place offers fabulous sunset viewing in the Atacama desert. This place could be visited as an extended part of the Moon Valley tour. It is in the midst of beautiful natural surroundings offering great photo opportunities. Certainly would very highly recommend visiting here prior to sunset.

It was very interesting to learn how such an observatory is operated. We also had the chance to see a dish in maintenance.

Yerbas Buenas Petroglyphs

Reviewed By hakimstark - Warsaw, Poland

Another kind of oasis - a chance to see some green in the Atacama desert; great rock formations; opportunity to see (and taste if you dare) some indigenous plants; a bit of history lesson; unique petroglyphs; and tons of llamas ;)
