Where to Stay in Atacama Desert

The driest place on earth, the darkest skies above

Mars-like landscapes, salt flats, geysers, and the world's best astronomical skies.

Travel Guide

The Atacama Desert is the driest non-polar desert on earth — so dry that NASA uses it to test Mars rovers. The absence of moisture means the skies are the clearest on the planet. ALMA, the world's most powerful radio telescope, is located here. Hotels with private observatories and in-house astronomers make stargazing a nightly ritual.
