Diaguitas and Aba Pisquera
We couldn’t leave Chile without visiting a pisco distillery. We also had a chance to visit a small village called Diaguitas.
Always planning my next vacation

We explored Vicuna during day time and visited Alfa Aldea observatory at night.
Elqui Valley, Atacama Desert is very one of the best places for astronomy.
Spent the day driving around and exploring Torres Del Paine Park. Saw hundreds of guanacos,, a few condors, and more.
Day 2 in Torres Del Paine was PERFECT! Chile Tours Patagonia did an excellent job planning our day to Grey Glacier.
Getting to Torres Del Paine in winter takes a long time but totally worth it. The park is spectacularly beautiful.
My personal favorites in San Pedro de Atacama.
Driving along Route 27 from San Pedro de Atacama was surprisingly beautiful and fun. It wasn’t something I planned but it ended up being one of the best things we did.
El Tatio Geyser is the third largest geyser in the world. I’m not a morning person but waking up before dawn was totally worth it to see the geysers at their best.
Rainbow Valley was a little hard to find but its definitely worth a trip. And if you aren’t too scared, go on a short road trip to Rio Grande.
Short stop at Tulor archaeological site before spending half a day at Valley of the Moon. To me it looked more like Mars than Moon.
Second day in San Pedro de Atacama was all about easily accessible destinations while getting adjusted to the altitude.
First day in San Pedro de Atacama didn’t go as planned but it was amazing. I’ve never seen so many stars in the sky.
Where to go in Atacama Desert for an astronomy themed vacation
General observations I made about Chile in the three weeks. I didn’t know much about the country so I didn’t really know what to expect.
