<strong>Chile</strong><br />
Altiplano: A Perfect Combination<br />
<strong>Argentina</strong><br />
In addition to sharing indigenous and colonial heritage in the high desert through archaeologic sites<br />
and attractive villages, Northern <strong>Chile</strong> and <strong>Argentina</strong> both offer dramatic desert scenery with towering<br />
volcanoes, salt flats, and spectacular rock formations. The Atacama Desert in the north of <strong>Chile</strong> is the<br />
most arid desert in the world and an important archaeological zone. On the Argentine side, Salta is one<br />
of the most picturesque cities in the country. From there, visit other colonial villages as well as the curious<br />
rock formations of the Cafayate River Gorge.<br />
Planning tips for Northern <strong>Chile</strong> & <strong>Argentina</strong>:<br />
Climate: San Pedro de Atacama is at 8,000 feet of elevation and the climate is<br />
moderate. More than 90% of days will be sunny with occasional showers<br />
January - March. Night skies will be cloudless with superb views of the stars.<br />
At 4,000 feet of elevation, Salta has a pleasant four-season climate.<br />
Geography & Transportation: Travelers starting on the <strong>Chile</strong>an side will fly from<br />
Santiago to the airport in Calama and then have a two-hour ground transfer to San<br />
Pedro de Atacama, your base for exploring the desert. Travel time from Atacama to<br />
Salta in <strong>Argentina</strong> is about 10 1/2 hours by bus, but to simplify this journey we<br />
recommend you do a private transfer with our local ground operator. Consider stopping<br />
for a night at Purmamarca, about 2½ hours before Salta. The next day, you can take an<br />
excursion to Humahuaca Gorge before continuing on to Salta. Flights from Salta to<br />
Buenos Aires take about two hours.<br />
