With so many magnificent natural places and outdoor activities like sand boarding and stargazing, exploring the Atacama Desert in Chile should definitely be on your travel bucket list.
It reminded me of Arizona, an arid landscape ranging from beautiful canyons to dramatic peaks. But in Atacama, you’ll also find salt lakes, volcanoes, lava fields, geysers, and lagoons.
My trip to Chile coincided with the solar eclipse across South America, so it was quite thrilling to once again observe the phenomenal dance between the sun and the moon.
