The Atacama Desert is huge and there are so many amazing things to do in San Pedro de Atacama and throughout the rest of the desert. You may not have time to see or do everything, but I guarantee you, whatever you do experience, you won’t regret!

Thank you for writing such a detailed post. It’s very helpful as we’re planning our trip in a couple of weeks with our 9 year old, 5 year old, and 9 month old!
I’m glad it was helpful! Enjoy your trip!!
I have never heard of Atacama Desert either, but the hidden lagoons look beautiful! I would love to visit someday! Adding to my bucket list now 🙂 thanks for sharing!
The hidden lagoons were one of the highlights for us! Definitely add those to your list!
Looks amazing! Will add to the travel list when we finally get to South America!
