Atacama Desert

Chile

Northern Chile’s Atacama Desert takes the prize for being one of the world’s driest destinations. In fact, it’s so dry that NASA decided it was the perfect location to test its Martian rover. Lunar landscapes aside, it’s also one of the best locations on earth to appreciate the Milky Way. The Atacama Desert’s 41, 000 square miles of diverse terrain includes sporting geysers, wind - sculpted golden dunes perfect for surfing and cliffs of colourfully striped strata known as Rainbow Valley. Sparsely populated, the Atacama Desert has several hotels to choose from that cater to tourists who come to explore the parched terrain.
