La laguna Miscanti (Lagunas Altplanicas - altitude: 4120m - here it is very cold)
San Pedro de Atacama is an oasis in the desert of the same name and its location, at the door of the Andes and two other mountain ranges, make the small town an ideal departure point for many visits of natural wonders of all kinds: the salt lake of Atacama, of course, but also geysers, lagunas in volcano craters, oases in the world´s most arid desert and rock fomations... The variety and quality of experiences in these different locations (bathing in a salt-saturated lake, watching the stars, waking up at 4am to see geysers come to life at sunrise) are such that the town could be a great place to stay for weeks but after 4 days in San Pedro, tomorrow is the departure to Bolivia (3-day 4x4 trip to Uyuni, through the salar and more geological marvels). I have heard great things about this trip and I am really looking forward to it.
La valle de la muerte shares more than its name with the famous spot in Nevada (here it is very hot)
