Begin your adventure by heading south toward the "Puna" or Highlands/Altiplanic after breakfast, and be amazed by its landscapes featuring crystal-clear waters surrounded by vast expanses of salt flats and high-altitude deserts and habitat for a diverse array of wildlife. The Miscanti Lagoon (the largest in the region) is sure to leave a lasting impression.

Later, pay a visit to the Village of Socaire, where the local indigenous community still holds on to some of their traditional way of life. Experience the unique culture and traditions of the local people, including their distinctive architecture, handicrafts, and cuisine.

Get ready for an early morning wake-up call to witness the impressive Tatio Geysers in action. Boiling steam rises high into the air, sometimes reaching heights of up to 40 meters, creating a stunning visual display.

Head towards one of the entrances to the Andean highlands, traversing important altitude ecosystems with incredibly rich biodiversity such as the wetlands of Machuca and Putana. Make a stop at the small farming village of Machuca, then continue to the awe-inspiring natural spectacle of the El Tatio geyser field. Afterwards, return to San Pedro to explore another magnificent gift of nature known as the "Geyser Blanco" (White Geyser), where those with a daring spirit can take a dip in the thermal waters in the middle of the riverbed.

Afterwards, embark on the final hike in the grand and stunning Valley of the Moon.

Later, you will connect with two Ayllus (local families) in San Pedro and savor traditional Atacameñan dishes. Learn about the history, culture, and challenges of San Pedro de Atacama. (This excursion could be changed for a visit to a local Ceramic Workshop.)

Depart from your lodge and return to Calama airport to fly on to your next adventure or return to Santiago to fly home. It is suggested that you choose a flight departing from Calama (CJC) after 5:00 PM to allow sufficient time for the transfer to the airport.
